Programme are now open!
The Africa Centre is a platform for exploring contemporary
Pan-African cultural practice as a catalyst for social change. Each year, the Africa
Centre, provides artists with the unique opportunity to spend four to six weeks
fully dedicated to developing their craft.
This year through partnerships with residency programmes in
Australia, Brazil, India, Italy, Kenya, Spain, Tanzania and the United States the
centre offers 13 unique residencies for its 2015 AIR programme.
AIR is seeking applications from high calibre African
artists who are provocative, innovative, socially engaged and stretching the
boundaries of their artistic practice.
The AIR partners select an artist from a short list provided
by the Africa Centre, for one of their 2015 or 2016 residencies. The costs of
the residency and round-trip airfare are included in each residency award
made.The residencies are available to artists in different stages of their
career development (from emerging to late career) across all disciplines:
visual arts, performing arts; creative & literary arts; film; music &
curatorial practice. Each residency offers a distinct structure, set of
requirements and duration.
Deadline for application submissions is September 30, 2015.
