The Exile Visual Arts Award honours works by artists with exile experience that visualise essential questions such as identity, belonging or foreignness. The 10,000 euro prize is an initiative of the Körber Stiftung, supported by Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin.

About the Exile Visual Arts Award:
Freedom of art and artistic expression are fundamental rights in democratic societies. If these rights are abrogated and artists are persecuted, they are forced to flee and seek refuge in exile. The experiences of persecution, flight and exile can find artistic expression in very different forms.

The Exile Visual Arts Award honours works that deal with the country of origin, flight, expulsion and exile in the visual arts and convey unusual perspectives on essential questions such as identity, conflict, belonging, community, individuality, foreignness, attributions, injuries, ruptures or transitions.

Eligible works include visual arts such as painting, graphic art, drawing, sculpture, installation art, photography and new media. The prize is aimed at individual artists with experience of exile who are mainly based in German-speaking countries of exile (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

The next application period online is from 1 July to 15 August 2024.

A jury of renowned representatives from academia, culture and society determines the award recipient. The winner will be announced in autumn 2024.
