The fellowship programme is one of the central components of the project “The Collaborative Museum” (CoMuse) and addresses international artists, researchers, community representatives, and cultural workers.
The programme offers grants for academic or artistic research projects that allow fellows the opportunity to critically examine the collections and their contexts of meaning through their work, to experiment with new research approaches, to develop interventions in the field of contemporary art, or to work together with curators and museums’ staff to inspire new impulses in transcultural museum work. Transparency and opening up new forms of access are key focuses of this work, as is ensuring the participation of a diversity of disciplines, individuals, cultural perspectives, and voices. The CoMuse Fellowship programme is particularly interested in supporting early-career academics and emerging artists in their professional development.

About the cooperation partner Künstlerhaus Bethanien
The international CoMuse Fellowship programme is realised in cooperation with Künstlerhaus Bethanien, an international cultural centre with a focus on contemporary visual arts in Berlin Kreuzberg. It hosts an artist-in-residence programme with exhibition rooms and workspaces for professional artists and cultural practitioners and aims to establish a lively dialogue between cultural actors from various backgrounds, disciplines, and the public at large. The bright and spacious studios are furnished in a minimalist style and offer enough space for research and artistic practice. They are equipped with a small kitchen unit; bathrooms and showers are available as shared amenities. CoMuse Fellows are invited to take part in the regular exhibition format “Open Studios” to present their research process and enter into an exchange with an interested audience.
