The Goethe-Institut USA stands in solidarity with the Black community against acts of violence, hatred and racism. Our efforts at promoting a transatlantic relationship between Germany and the United States would be for naught if we stood by in silence during a time of great unrest and upheaval. We are privileged to be located in cities throughout the US with rich Black history, culture, and activism, and we stand with our neighbors in this time.

Together with Your Mom's Agency, we are launching a fully digital exposure and collaboration platform for experimental music of all genres from Berlin, Detroit, and the PACA region between June and November 2020.

QuaRANTine Choir is a growing compilation of commissioned audio works by an international group of artists from various backgrounds.
