The Exile Visual Arts Award honours works by artists who visualise essential questions in exile such as identity, belonging or foreignness. The Exile Visual Arts Award is an initiative of Körber-Stiftung, supported by Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin.

Freedom of art and artistic expression are fundamental rights in democratic societies. When these rights are suspended, artists are often forced to flee and seek protection from persecution 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 process the confrontation with the homeland, with flight, expulsion and exile in the visual arts and convey unusual perspectives on questions such as identity, conflict, belonging, foreignness, injuries, or ruptures.

The Exile Visual Arts Award of 10,000 euros is offered by Körber-Stiftung, supported by Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin, and is awarded annually.

Applications are open from now until 19th June 2023.
