Are you an artist or cultural practitioner who believes that culture can play a vital role in questioning dominant narratives and their role in our lives? We invite you to apply to the Mentorship Award: Moving Narratives, a multidisciplinary programme that re-examines legacies of the past, defies euro-centric social and historical discourses, centres the perspectives of marginalised communities, and forges connections between contemporary emancipatory movements and their historical roots.
About the British Council
The British Council is the United Kingdom’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. Through Culture Responds—the Arts and Culture’s global programme—the British Council supports the arts sector to respond to global challenges around inclusion and sustainability by capacity building and developing networks, celebrating best practices, and giving people access to international showcasing platforms.
Eligibility
With this open call we invite applications from individual, experienced artists and cultural practitioners who:
- Live and work in our eligible countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe;
- Are artists, cultural practitioners, or creatives whose practice highlights marginalised histories that challenge dominant worldviews; The Prince Claus Fund and the British Council hold a broad disciplinary understanding of arts and culture. When referring to artists and cultural practitioners we mean people who have an individual artistic practice. Individuals who are arts managers, facilitators, academic researchers or others, without an individual artistic practice, do not fall under this category, and as such are not eligible to apply.
- Have ±7-15 years of relevant professional experience. The Mentorship Award is meant only for individual artists who, regardless of age, meet the professional experience criteria, counting from the date they started engaging in a professional artistic practice to the date of submitting their application.
The deadline for the submissions is 10 August 2023 at 23:59
