The sphere of influence of the ZKM extends far beyond Karlsruhe and the region. The ZKM acts in a global way with its exhibitions. The Residency programs initiated by the ZKM reflect this global standard: The ZKM invites international artists and academics to work at the ZKM and to develop their own artistic productions here.
