About

The German Embassy Pretoria invites artists, creative people and cultural institutions from South Africa, Eswatini and Lesotho to apply with their project ideas for support from the Embassy's cultural fund.

30 years of democracy in South Africa, 35 years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany and increasingly complex challenges worldwide are reasons to strengthen the relationships between the states in the field of visual and performing arts, in the field of film and media and in the field of remembrance.

The following culture areas are examples of what may be supported:

• art and exhibitions

• music, theatre and dance

• literature events, movies, radio, gaming and digital arts

• remembrance and memorial policy

The suggested projects should have a connection to Germany and/ or German culture.
