Professional Development & Exchange
Our Mission
Through the development of a network and an exchange program that will expand skills and opportunities for scholars and professionals in the creative industry, we are fostering new collaborations between experts and academics from the Americas, Southern Africa, and Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOP). These initiatives are brought to life through the organization of Creative Industry Conferences and Artistic Residencies in both the Americas and Southern Africa.
The Conferences
Our goal is to inspire reflection while continuing to offer the best of our abilities to enrich intercontinental cultural dialogue. Through this questioning, we aim to generate collaborations between academic institutions, creative industry organizations, researchers, and artists from the Americas and Southern Africa.
