ERIAC–DAAD Residency Programme for Arts and Media | Winner Announced

ERIAC and the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program are delighted to announce that the 2025 DAAD–ERIAC Roma Artist-in-Residence is Anita Horváth (Hungary). On 24 October 2025, an expert jury selected Horváth from a competitive field of applicants for a one-month residency in Berlin in November 2025. Launched jointly by the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and the European Roma Institute for Arts and Culture (ERIAC), the DAAD-ERIAC–Residency Programme for Arts and Media is a multi-annual initiative offering an annual one-month residency in Berlin to one artist or cultural practitioner with self-declared Roma identity. The programme advances cultural equity and empowers underrepresented voices in the international arts field. Each year the focus rotates across disciplines. The 2025 inaugural edition centers on practitioners in visual arts, spatial practices, curatorial work, exhibition making, art in public spaces, design, and architecture. The residency provides time, space, mentoring, and institutional support for reflection, research, and networking in Berlin and may include a public engagement (e.g., talk, exhibition, presentation, or performance) developed in dialogue with the partners. The jury selected Anita Horváth for the 2025 residency. The expert Jury consisted of the following members: Melanie Roumiguière da Silva (Head of Visual Arts, deputy director DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program DAAD) Małgorzata Mirga-Tas (artist and former DAAD Artists in Berlin fellow 2022) Timea Junghaus (curator, art historian, and Executive Director of ERIAC) The jury praised Horváth’s distinct artistic language and her sensitive, self-reflective exploration of Roma women’s representation and identity, recognizing the meaningful potential of the Berlin residency at this stage of her career.
