The Martin Roth-Initiative moves at-risk artists and cultural practitioners to safety at a host organisation in Germany, on a monthly scholarship that can run up to 15 months. It is jointly run by ifa and the Goethe-Institut. The application is submitted in tandem: you apply, and a German host organisation applies alongside you. What you get: ➤ A monthly scholarship for the duration of the stay ➤ Individual support payments covering things like insurance, psychosocial support, language courses and training ➤ Support through the visa process ➤ Counselling from the MRI, plus training on safety, sensitive public relations and psychosocial support ➤ Networking and exchange with other scholarship holders and host organisations ➤ Funding for extra personnel at your host organisation so they can properly support you What you'll do: ➤ Continue your artistic or cultural work in a safe environment at a German host organisation ➤ Work closely with that host organisation, which provides supervision and professional support ➤ Find and agree your own host organisation before applying, since MRI does not match you with one ➤ Email apply@mri-application.de to get access to the application platform, which both you and your host organisation need separate accounts for ➤ Submit an artist application while your host organisation submits its own application and budget, which it must also sign and send by post ➤ Engage with the local cultural scene and civil society during the residency
