Description
1) Objective
The Martin Roth-Initiative protects artists who are committed in their home country to the freedom of art, democracy and human rights by enabling temporary residence in Germany or third countries for the purpose of protecting those who are being persecuted. Special significance is placed on the cultural scenes and local civil society in the host countries which, during the scholarship period, work with the scholarship holders, provide support and enable their professional development. The Martin Roth-Initiative aims to ensure that, at the end of the scholarship period, it is possible for the scholarship holder to return safely to their home country, or that the foundation for their successful integration in the society of the host country has been laid. The joint performance between the Martin Roth-Initiative and its partners, both domestically and abroad, expresses the commitment of civil society to take on responsibility and nail its colours to the mast.
With this funding from the Martin Roth-Initiative, cultural and civil society institutions (host organisations) are enabled to temporarily host at-risk artists and cultural actors in their region of origin (e.g. in a neighbouring country), provide them with scholarships, and enable them to continue their work.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are Artists and cultural actors who through their artistic work are committed to an open society, freedom, peace and democracy, who reject any kind of discrimination and who, because of their work or due to other circumstances, experience restrictions on their freedom or threats from state and/or non-state actors .
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Artists receive a monthly scholarship commensurate with local conditions based on the scholarship guidelines of the German Federal Foreign Office.
5) Application
There are no set deadlines for submitting an application. Based on availability of funding, applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis. MRI will communicate on this website as soon as all funds for 2024 have been assigned. Projects must be concluded by the end of 2024. An application consists of the application form (and requested annexes) completed in full by the host organisation, and a personal statement completed by the artist/cultural actor. You will receive all forms from the MRI team after an initial consultation session. You can request a consultation by writing to info(a)mri-application.de.
