Africa Consortium... forum now live!

The Africa Consortium UK is a network of venues, companies and individual artists who are committed to engaging with the performing arts from Africa and the African diaspora (including African-America and the Caribbean) with a view to increasing intercultural knowledge and understanding, and developing collaborations which are meaningful, sustainable and contribute to an ongoing intercultural dialogue.
 
The objectives

• to increase opportunities for intercultural engagement through presentations, collaboration and information sharing
• to act as a resource for the industry in increasing access to, and awareness of, the performing arts from Africa and the diaspora
• to provide an environment in which UK-based artists of African heritage can engage with African-based artists in order to develop exchanges and collaborative projects and forge meaningful links with artists from Africa and the diaspora
• to increase capacity in producing and presenting work from Africa

The forum of the Africa Consortium website is now live. It includes topics for you to add and give feedback on, such as on the London and Birmingham consortium launch events, a space to post items you would like added to the agenda for the next consortium members’ meeting, a chance to pitch projects to other members and look for partners, and a free for all space where you can share your views on anything.

If you are not a member of the Consortium, you will need to log on and register to join; there is an annual membershp fee but this is just to cover maintanence and administrative costs. You can then register on the forum page in order to post messages.
