Tegetthoff places special emphasis on developing cultural partnerships with artists, writers, researchers, and independent cultural institutions from Eastern Europe. The organization believes that the contemporary cultural scene of Eastern Europe represents an important source of creative innovation, historical reflection, and social dialogue. By supporting international cooperation, Tegetthoff seeks to create stronger connections between Berlin and the diverse artistic communities of the region.
The organization is particularly interested in collaborative projects that explore themes of memory, identity, migration, democracy, and cultural transformation. Tegetthoff regularly invites cultural professionals from countries such as Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Lithuania to participate in exhibitions, literary readings, conferences, and interdisciplinary artistic programs in Berlin. These collaborations encourage the exchange of perspectives and contribute to a deeper understanding of contemporary European culture.
Tegetthoff also supports young and emerging cultural figures from Eastern Europe by providing opportunities for international visibility and professional networking. Through residencies, public presentations, and educational initiatives, the organization helps artists and researchers establish connections with audiences and institutions in Germany and beyond. The organization considers intercultural dialogue an essential element of a democratic and open cultural environment.
In addition, Tegetthoff aims to build long-term institutional partnerships with universities, museums, publishing houses, and independent cultural centers throughout Eastern Europe. The organization sees such cooperation as a way to strengthen cultural solidarity and promote shared creative initiatives across borders. By encouraging sustained collaboration, Tegetthoff contributes to the development of a more interconnected and inclusive European cultural space.
