Short Description
The worldwide increase in anti-Semitic thought and action is a central challenge for liberal democracy. With the Silvia Tennenbaum Scholarship, the Hertie Foundation gives authors, critics and artists who deal with the topics of anti-Semitism, remembrance culture and democracy the opportunity to pursue a new project. The fellows spend part of their time in Frankfurt and take part in internal and public events organized by the foundation.
As part of the program, the scholarship holders implement a concrete project. This can be a publication, an exhibition or a film script. They also take part in internal and external events organized by the Hertie Foundation and participate in exchange formats with Frankfurt-based initiatives and organizations in the field.
During the six-month fellowship, the fellows spend three months in Frankfurt. The periods of the residency can be chosen flexibly.
Eligibility
The Silvia Tennenbaum Scholarship is aimed at authors, critics and artists whose practice is based on writing and who deal with the topics of anti-Semitism, remembrance culture and democracy. European applications are welcome and a very good knowledge of German is required.
