fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

New issue of static (4.1 | 2025) published

We are pleased to announce the publication of the new issue of static (4.1 | 2025), dedicated to the theme of cultural infrastructure. Its cover features a zine created during last year’s summer school — a reminder of the DIY and often dissident forms of cultural expression that circulate outside commercial or state-controlled channels.

In this issue, we explore cultural infrastructures in many forms: from Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop’s Atlantique as a “filmic zine”, to African schools of architecture, to art historian and gallerist Godula Buchholz and her role in linking South American and German art worlds. Artist fellow Işıl Eğrikavuk closes the issue with a reflection on dormancy as a quiet resistance to academic acceleration.
