Kulturakademie Tarabya

The Tarabya Cultural Academy is an institution of the Federal Government of Germany. It is run by the German Embassy in Ankara and is part of its cultural work in Turkey. The Goethe-Institut has curatorial responsibility for the Tarabya Cultural Academy.

The Tarabya Cultural Academy is a residency programme for creative artists in architecture, visual art, performing art, design, literature, music, film, journalism and cultural theory who live and work in Germany. Applications by German-Turkish artistic tandems are also possible in the form of co-production fellowships.
The goal of the programme is to make a contribution to German-Turkish cultural exchange. The stay at the Cultural Academy should serve as an inspiration for and an opportunity for development of the fellowship holders’ work. Seven artists’ apartments, a meeting room and two studios offer fellows optimum living and working conditions.
