Fully funded art Residency in Belgium
The Goethe-Institut Brüssel and MORPHO are delighted to inaugurate their collaboration in 2026 with an international curatorial residency. Goethe-Institut Brüssel supports the participation of one curator based in or from Germany going to Antwerp for a three-month residency, in the framework of a thematic programme that explores curating in times of democratic crisis.
Cultural institutions are both the terrain and the subject of social and political debate. However, as unease about democracy grows, the question arises as to how democratic coexistence can succeed in the future. Under what conditions can cultural institutions be places for negotiating democratic self-understanding? How can they make democracy (once again) conceivable?
