The KHM’s collaboration with academies and others

The KHM maintains numerous collaborations with institutions both nationally and internationally, too many to name them all here.

Of special mention is the DAAD’s ISAP (International Study and Training Partnerships) programme, which funds guest students at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL) in Bogotá (Colombia).

The DAAD prize also supports the outstanding achievement of international students: Irina Kurtischwili (1996), Kosit Juntaratip (1998), Anselm Weidmann (1997), Josit Kuntaratip (1998), Katja Davar (1999), Angélique Dubois (2006), Menachem Roth (2007), Karolina Kot (2008), Aino Korvensyrjä (2009), Maman Salissou Oumarou (2010), Anna Gonzalez Suero (2011), Sina Seifee (2012), Ale Bachlechner (2013), Ali Chakav (2015).

For many years an exchange collaboration, conceived as intercultural project work, has existed with the Escuela Internacional de Cine y TV de San Antonio de los Banños (EICTV) in Havana (Cuba). 

Since 1991 the KHM has had the chance to present current student work on a special stand at the international art fair Art Cologne.
