Fully funded Relocation stays for artists and cultural practitioners in Germany

/in , /by

The Martin Roth Initiative (MRI) supports artists and cultural practitioners at risk by facilitating temporary residencies in Germany or in the regions of origin. The Martin Roth-Initiative was launched by the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa) and the Goethe-Institut as a joint project in response to the global decline in pre-political freedom.

The Martin Roth-Initiative supports cultural and civil society institutions so that they can temporarily host at-risk artists and cultural actors, provide them with scholarships, and thus ensure the continuation of their work in a safer context. Moreover, the Martin Roth-Initiative offers other funding opportunities for artists and cultural workers, including direct funding that allows them to receive support without host organisations.
