ALLIANZ KULTURSTIFTUNG

Kulturakademie Tarabaya

The first recipients of the Turkish-German co-production scholarships at Kulturakademie Tarbya in Istanbul have been announced. The jury selected three artist teams from more than 80 applications: Oda Projesi & Nadin Reschke (Fine Arts), Emre Koyuncuoğlu & Simon Wachsmuth (Performing Arts) and Dicle Beştaş & Didem Yazıcı (Publishing/Cultural Theory). The Kulturakademie is operated by the German Embassy in Ankara; the Goethe Institute bears the curatorial responsibility.  The Allianz Kulturstiftung is responsible for funding the scholarships for the Turkey-based artists.

New study published

The pandemic has closed museums, shuttered concert halls and cancelled theatre performances across the globe, threatening the livelihoods of artists, technicians and musicians and leaving many in the cultural industries fighting for survival. A new study by the Hertie School’s Helmut Anheier, Katrin Winkler and the Technische Universität Berlin’s Janet Merkel explores how five cultural capitals – Berlin, London, Paris, Toronto and New York City – supported their artists, creatives and cultural organisations during this unprecedented crisis. Berlin’s Senator for Culture and Europe, Klaus Lederer, will discuss the findings of the report at the Re:Writing the Future Festival on 26 February 2021.
