The Berlin Artistic Research Programme is pleased to announce its fellows for 2024/25. Aiming to strengthen artistic research in Berlin, the programme awards grants to individuals and groups from various disciplines for artistic research projects and public events. The programme, at its core, responds to the growing role of art in knowledge production. For the 2024/25 grant period, applications were submitted from a wide range of fields—the visual arts, film/video, literature, music, dance, theatre—as well as interdisciplinary study. An independent jury reviewed the proposals.
