A cultural space for collaborations and conversations between Afghan, Indian, and German artists. 


The mythical bird Simurgh, found in stories and legends, represents ideas of connection and growth, renewal and sharing. The Simurgh Centre brings these ideas to our projects in Delhi - supporting artistic exchanges and collaborations between Afghan, Indian and German practitioners. Simurgh Centre is an initiative of the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi.
