A CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Goethe-Institut Namibia is currently undergoing renovations. While our space is moving and getting an uplift, we’re opening our parking lot as a temporary creative stage for public activations. We are inviting artists, performers, creators, designers, and imaginative doers to propose small-scale public events or creative interventions that can take place in our outdoor space.

Who can apply?

We welcome proposals from creatives with ideas that thoughtfully engage public space. All submissions will be reviewed by our curatorial team.
  • Individual artists
  • Collectives
  • Emerging practitioners

Ideal activities include:

  • Pop-up performances (music, dance, spoken word)
  • Visual or interactive installations
  • Low-tech light or projection pieces
  • Participatory or community activities
  • Outdoor creative workshops
  • Playful or social public-space experiments

What do we offer:

  • Access to our outdoor space during the agreed production dates
  • Basic technical and logistical support (to be discussed based on project requirements)
  • Visibility across our communications platforms
  • A dedicated production budget, aligned with the scale and needs of the proposal

How to submit

Submit your proposal via our online form. All submissions will be reviewed as part of our curatorial team. Deadline 10 April 2026. Only successful applicants will be contacted two weeks after closing date.
