Africalia's Belgium programme aims to support, accompany and encourage decolonisation processes in art and culture with a view to promoting a plural and inclusive society. The programme focuses on a number of decolonial issues in the sector, in particular highlighting creations, imaginaries and narratives that take as their starting point the point of view of the diasporas of Sub-Saharan Africa and their experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to encourage citizens to become agents of change, the organisation wants to call on artists from all disciplines who want to get involved in this process. The artistic proposals selected are intended to become tools for raising awareness of the role of the arts and culture in tackling global issues in a creative and artistic way. Here, as everywhere else, creativity is fertile ground for imagination, liberation and the reinvention of our societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CALL THEME - CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESSES\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly declared the International Decade for People of African Descent in its resolution A\/RES\/68\/237. The stated aim was, in connection with the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action and the International Day for People of African Descent observed in 2011, to provide \"a solid framework for the United Nations, Member States, civil society and relevant stakeholders to join forces with people of African descent and take concrete measures for the implementation of the programme of activities in a spirit of recognition, justice and development\". The Decade will end on 31 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although few actions were implemented in Belgium during the Decade, the issues raised by the Decade are not absent in Belgium. In particular, one of the three focuses of the Decade was the question of recognition. The United Nations is encouraging us to promote greater knowledge and respect for the heritage, culture and contribution of people of African descent to the development of our societies. In a society where racism is endemic, it is more than essential to raise awareness of the history, experiences and achievements, both individual and collective, of people of African descent in Belgium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That is why this year we are inviting artists and project promoters to look at the contributions of people of African descent to Belgian society. Proposals are free to focus on any of the very wide range of fields from which people of African descent have contributed, and continue to contribute, to the development of Belgian society (the artistic, political, academic and scientific, professional, cultural, social fields, etc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n DOSSIER SUBMISSION\u00a0<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n To submit a proposal, send your complete application by e-mail to africalia@africalia.be. before 18 March 2024 at 11.59 p.m.<\/mark>.<\/mark><\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A complete application includes:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Incomplete applications and applications sent after the deadline will not be examined.
