The Goethe-Institut Nigeria has funded a wide range of projects and initiatives conceived and implemented by Nigerian artists and initiatives in a variety of cultural genres, including music, modern dance, photography, films (documentary), theatre, visual arts, and many others over the years. The Goethe-Institut also helps artists who have been invited to festivals in Germany or on the African continent but are unable to attend due to a lack of financial resources.
