Grants for Co-Creation of New Heritage Narratives

This Call for Proposals seeks to select at least 8 non-profit, non-governmental organisations in Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa to lead 'Narrative Clusters,' collaborating with interdisciplinary groups of artists/creatives to develop innovative stories that increase the visibility and contemporary relevance of their heritage. Selected organisations will receive grants of up to €55,000 to manage these clusters, fund co-productions, and present new narratives to local audiences over a 15-month period. The program aims to create new narratives around cultural heritage by bringing together heritage organisations with creative practitioners across multiple artistic disciplines. This funding opportunity is part of the Africa-Europe Partnerships for Culture initiative administered by the Goethe-Institut.
