Artists’ Mobility In / Connected To Africa: Realities, Challenges and Positive Practices
Venue: Jatka78 – PQ Talks Stage, Prague Quadriennal, Date: 14 June 2023, Time: 14:30-16:00
Who are still the key actors? To what extent have new forms of solidarity and collaborative practices developed, including with the private sector? How can this information be made more accessible? How to deal with the remaining challenges related to visas or administrative problems, in particular for artists and cultural professionals from the African continent? How to reach people outside the information networks? How to democratise access to information in order to support mobility in Africa?
These and related questions will be addressed in this talk, which will also be an opportunity to share existing and ongoing mapping and action tools useful for the sector.
