公开征集：面向创意与艺术从业者的资助项目

The Heritage Narrative Clusters Artistic Collaboration Program, hosted by the Goethe‑Institut, calls for individual artists and creative practitioners from Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe to collaborate on artistic co‑productions that explore Southern African cultural heritage. Each selected artist receives a €6,000 stipend for a six‑month program, with travel, accommodation, per‑diems, co‑production and presentation costs fully covered. The program brings together nine artists per cluster, spanning at least three countries and multiple disciplines, to develop three distinct artistic productions in formats such as film, theatre, exhibitions and other media. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have a minimum of three years of professional practice, and demonstrate experience or strong potential in heritage‑related storytelling. They must be legally residing and working in one of the six eligible countries and cannot be staff of the Goethe‑Institut or the hosting heritage organisation. The call is open to individual artists and creative practitioners; group submissions are not accepted. The deadline for applications is 5 October 2026.
