Festivals happening in Africa before July
(And how you can get funding to attend them)
Remember that Goethe opportunity we told you about? The one where they would pay to fly you out?
Well, if you missed it, essentially, Goethe Institute Accra is providing Ghanaian artists with a €500 mobility fund to attend a festival or exhibition outside of Ghana.
This is an opportunity to present your artwork to an international audience and / or to collaborate, work and build networks with other creatives on the continent.
It’s a rolling open call for events until July 2024. There will be another open call in the second half of the year.
Below are a few festivals you could potentially apply with. Good luck!
National Arts Festival, South Africa: 20-30 June
Dakar Biennale, Senegal: 16 May – 16 June
Turbine Art Fair, South Africa: 26 -28 July
AfrikaBurn Festival, South Africa: 29 April-05 May
Bushfire Festival, Eswatini: 31 May- 02 June
Abidjan Animation Film Festival, Ivory Coast: 29 April – 5 May
