At the 62nd Members’ General Assembly in Berlin on Saturday, 25 May 2024, the Akademie der Künste has elected composer Manos Tsangaris as its president and architectural publicist Anh-Linh Ngo as its vice-president.
The election of new leadership concludes the terms of Jeanine Meerapfel as Akademie president and Kathrin Röggla as vice-president, each of whom spent nine years in office ‒ the maximum amount of terms provided for under the Akademie Statutes.
The Akademie der Künste currently has 407 international members in its six Sections: Visual Arts, Architecture, Music, Literature, Performing Arts, and Film and Media Arts. The term in office for all elected positions is three years. According to the Statutes, re-election is possible twice (for two more terms).
