About

“KULTURAUSTAUSCH” is the magazine for international perspectives. It is published quarterly and presents international cultural relations from fresh perspectives. We focus on people and regions that rarely feature in the German debate.

Renowned authors such as Serhij Zhadan, Fatou Diome, Liao Yiwu, Ibram X. Kendi or Gioconda Belli have their say, as do other voices from around the globe from Afghan women doctors to mine workers in Congo to racing drivers from Qatar.

In print and online we give a platform to new perspectives from around the globe. Our editorial team researches current topics, commissions international authors to unpack them for us and, finally, translates their views into German and English. We would love your input:

Which subjects most interest you?

 

Taiwan, Iran or the Maldives: For me, the magazine is best when it reports from countries that are often overlooked by the daily newsflow

I am most interested in KULTURAUSTAUSCH when it dives into current talking points, like when it takes deep dives into “de-growth” and “culture wars”

Why not focus on concept editions, like when you explored “DIY design” and “18 things that change the world”?
