Open Call for Artists, Curators & Art Practitioners
REFLEKT residency program is an initiative by Goethe-Institut Southeast Asia which fosters shared artistic collaborations, critical reflections, and creative re-learnings. Through workshops, discussions, and cross-disciplinary exchanges, REFLEKT residents engage with a variety of practicespraxis, deepening their understanding of both their own work and the broader artistic landscape.
As they open up horizons and explore new narratives, REFLEKT transposes into a space where connections across cultures and disciplines coalesce. For the 2025 residency, SAVVY Contemporary (Berlin) will continue as hosting organization. We are keen to collaborate with artists, thinkers, researchers, and cultural professionals who are active in developing artistic organizations, educational projects, neighborhood initiatives and public research programs. We are interested in initiating long-term engagement on topics such as: Afro-Pacific cultural and art-historical affinities, role of artists in cultural management, innovative and critical approaches in exhibition-making, intersections between social development and artist-run entities, accessibility in precarious conditions and aesthetic strategies in cross-sectoral mobilization. We welcome proposals from practitioners who have significant experience in art ecosystems as well as with practical knowledge in the fields of project management, education, community organizing, hospitality, communications, or public engagement.
