We are proud to be one of the hosts for the annual residency, open to German artists looking to work and collaborate in India, supported by the Goethe-Institut.

“The bangaloREsidency programme has been conceived as a long-term collaboration between the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore and various innovative and discerning contemporary art/cultural spaces and partners in Bangalore, with a view to offering German aspirants a space conducive to creative output and the opportunity to interact with Indian artists/experts, in the challenging context of Asia’s fastest-growing metropolis.”

Artists interested to apply and read about the hosts, past residents and more, find information here.
