In countries where the Goethe-Institut and other international cultural institutions have had to close their locations due to wars or censorship, many artists and intellectuals have lost spaces for dissent, dialogue and intercultural exchange. Goethe-Institut in Exile is a meeting place, safe space and stage for cultural professionals who can no longer work in their home country.
Goethe-Institut in Exile will offer creative artists who, due to life-threatening circumstances, are no longer able to work in their own countries, or only with difficulty, a stage as well as a place for discussion and exchange. Learn more about the project!
Zeitgeister, the international cultural magazine of the Goethe-Institut, has published several articles on the themes of war, flight, exile, homelessness and the struggle for freedom. Read the articles here.
The German-Czech-Slovak online magazine JÁDU is now also available in Ukrainian, its fourth language. In the new section "EXIL ЕКЗИЛЬ", JÁDU tells the stories of Ukrainians - empathetically and passionately, profoundly, and constructively.
