December 2019 — GUIDE TO FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF ARTISTS AND CULTURE PROFESSIONALS – AFRICA

Guide to funding opportunities for the international This Cultural Mobility Funding Guide presents a mapping of mobility of funding opportunities for international cultural mobility, focused artists and culture on the African continent. professionals The main objective of this cultural mobility funding guide is to AFRICA provide an overview of the funding bodies and programmes that support the international mobility of artists and cultural operators from Africa and travelling to Africa. It also aims to provide input for funders and policy makers on how to fill the existing gaps in funding for international cultural exchange.

The third edition of this guide, supported by the Institut français, (the first edition was supported by Korea Arts Management Service and the second by the British Council) is modelled on the Guides to funding opportunities for the international mobility of artists and culture professionals in Europe, Asia, the Arab Region, Latin and Central America and the USA.1 You can refer to the methodology of these guides in the document “How to read the cultural mobility funding guides (PDF),”2 included in the European and Asian guides, which were the first of the series.

In the Africa guide you will find funding opportunities relevant to most artistic and cultural disciplines, classified by types of funding GUIDE TO FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF ARTISTS PAGE AND CULTURE PROFESSIONALS – AFRICA 5

organisations. The list includes only regular funding opportunities, whose terms and application procedures are accessible online, and that cover travel costs (partially or completely).

This guide – whose information was mostly compiled between Sep- tember-November 2019 by Lara Bourdin, Head of Research for Art Moves Africa (AMA), in close collaboration with Marie Le Sourd from On the Move (OTM) and thanks to the support of the Institut français – is an attempt to gather all the resources in one document. It draws on extensive online research as well as on previously completed studies: namely, AMA’s studies on mobility and touring in East Africa (2011, 2012), Central Africa (2015) and North Africa (2019), and the Cultural Mobility Funding Guide – Focus on the 13 Arab Coun- tries (by the Arab Education Forum with OTM via the support of the MedCulture programme).3

While the guide aims to provide a comprehensive overview of funding opportunities for mobility to/from Africa, it is by no means exhaustive for the following main reasons:

- Funding schemes are regularly subject to change, which may render some information outdated. This is particularly the case for international/regional funding schemes affected by budget cuts, policy changes etc.; - Some potential funding opportunities could not be identified due to the lack of consistent information available online; - Most African countries lack national regular funding schemes supporting artists’ mobility, which makes the information highly challenging to identify. GUIDE TO FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF ARTISTS AND CULTURE PROFESSIONALS – AFRICA

The information is organised as follows:

1) African organisations and funding bodies (where South Africa is one of the countries most represented in terms of funding schemes),

2) International organisations with an African focus (where French-speaking countries/”Francophone” countries and the MENA region are the most covered regions in terms of cultural mobility funding support),

3) Global South-focused organisations (where Africa is one of the world regions covered, usually with Latin America and Asia),

4) Bilateral and multi-lateral cooperation schemes (in particular with countries such as France and Germany but also regional entities like the European Union),

5) International prizes, residencies and other support schemes (this part has been added to open the scope of opportunities for Afri- can artists and cultural professionals, as funding possibilities specifically targeting them are rather limited),

6) Resources (this section offers tips and advice for African artists and cultural professionals seeking mobility funding and identifies information platforms relevant for the African cultural sector as well as additional funding organisations that do not meet the selection criteria relevant for the cultural mobility funding guide).

We aim to update this guide on a regular basis through further research and input from the field. Your feedback is therefore crucial. You can send your comments, suggestions and corrections to: [email protected].

A French version of the Africa Cultural Mobility Funding guide is also available thanks to the support of the Institut français.
