The African Culture Fund (ACF) closed on September 16, 2022, its 11th special call for proposals “Performing Arts, Cinema – Audiovisual, Visual Arts”.
At the close of the call, 1,473 applications were registered, including 876 French-speaking files and 597 English-speaking files, from 45 African countries and 10 from the diaspora.
The selection process took place in three stages: the registration and analysis of the candidate files which made it possible to constitute a purged base, the pre-selection, and the evaluation and the final selection by an autonomous and independent Jury composed of: Edwige Aplogan (Benin) ; Luc Mayitoukou (Senegal / RD Congo) ; André Leroux (South Africa) et Dr Robert Nantchouang (Cameroon).
At the end of the deliberations, 20 applications were selected from 15 African countries.
The African Culture Fund would like to renew its thanks to the donor artists, patrons, and partners, in particular the DOEN Foundation (Netherlands), the 1-54 Contemporary Art Fair (United Kingdom), the Kôrè Culture Center (Mali), and the Foundation for the Development of Contemporary African Culture (Morocco) for their support.
