Musée Mobile Gnonnas Pedro Gnoinsope
Art of Africa is based on values such as humanism, independence, responsibility and professionalism. It works to immortalise the rich intangible heritage represented by the work of Gnonnas Pedro, a musician of genius, while promoting the cultural and tourist potential of Benin and Africa.
The aim of this project is to create a travelling version of the semi-permanent exhibition "Gnonnas Pedro, Nin non déké migblon do a" ("let's not forget what we agreed") at the eponymous museum. This digital exhibition will travel around Benin and will make it possible to transmit the educational, civic and community values conveyed by the works of this music legend, who passed away in 2004.
Dycadia, dynamisation de la capacité de diffusion artistique
COSDI is a group of five cultural organisations active in Burkina Faso. Together, they contribute to the development of the arts in Burkina Faso, promote the performing arts in Africa and contribute to the production of public performances.
By setting up the "Dycadia" project, COSDI aims to promote artistic creations through the development of a professional distribution network in Burkina Faso. Specifically, the aim is to strengthen the operational capacities of the members of the COSDI network and to boost the distribution of artistic creations by pooling the resources of the network members.
Art Education for Change
Specialising in training in the travel and tourism sector, ITTOG has been involved in numerous artistic and cultural projects since its creation in 2008, with a view to raising awareness of sustainable development and responsible tourism among its students.
Due to the absence of an art school in the Gambia, the development of the sector is limited. The ITTOG project therefore proposes to improve the training, employability and entrepreneurship of young performing artists. Through this project, ITTOG is committed to training young talent (with the support of the Senegalese National School of Arts), creating an art café and a resource centre for discussions, research and sale of works. It will support the creation of new cultural dances, produce videos of performances and help distribute them for wider recognition.

Founded in 2006 in Senegal, Karoninka is a renowned film production and directing company committed to the empowerment of women. Its recognition extends beyond the borders of Senegal, both in Africa and in Europe.
The aim of Institut Mousso ("woman" in Bambara) is to promote education for all and to develop female leadership in rural areas. It is within this framework that training sessions in photography techniques and audiovisual production will be organised in the most isolated areas, in order to encourage the socio-professional integration of women. In the long term, the aim is to give young women the opportunity to discover sectors of activity other than agriculture.

The "Les Actrales" project trains stage technicians, actors and directors in organic theatre in order to raise the quality of performance art.

Of Being and Becoming: exploring language and identity in the African cultural space using VR
Open Arts is a collective committed to promoting arts and creative activities. As the organiser of the Hausa International Book and Arts Festival (HIBAF), the foundation prioritises the artworks and stories of people whose voices have been excluded from the global conversation.
The project aims to digitise the meetings, exhibitions, performances and other activities of the 2nd edition of the HIBAF festival in order to archive them and, above all, to recreate them in virtual reality. If the objective of this event is to open discussions on the Hausa language through history, music and arts of the past and present, its VR version will give it more resonance and will allow it to seduce a new public which, thanks to this technology, will be able to immerse itself and wander through the festival in Northern Nigeria, from anywhere in the world.
"Ateliers inventifs" - performance phase
The Min'Art association was founded in 2017 under the impulse of young artists eager for new forms of creation more in line with societal changes. Today, it is expanding its actions to include intervention and cultural mediation projects, as well as training and introducing young people to theatre and dance.
This project follows on from the programme of workshops in favour of young people that the Min'Art association has been developing in the districts of Conakry for two years. Within this framework, 3 distribution centres will be set up in 3 neighbourhoods that do not usually receive any cultural offerings, but which will host contemporary live performances for one year. This project is the first phase of a distribution programme that will be extended to other areas of the city in the following years.
