Deadline: 21-Oct-2024
The Caribbean Culture Fund has announced its second call for proposals.
Themes
- Memory and Archiving
- This theme is for projects that explore ways to archive and preserve memories as well as researching lost archives or content.
- Similar to the concept of a cultural heritage grant, consider the potential ways to archive and preserve memories. How can they use today’s technology to rescue and preserve memories that are not documented in written form? Additionally, consider how to provide access to these archives for both local communities and researchers worldwide.
- Migration
- Migration is an extremely important issue in the Caribbean, one that is often addressed in geopolitical contexts but never enough at the social and cultural level.
- How can the arts address and reflect the cultural impact migration has had on the region? How can they use the arts to improve the cultural understanding of the peoples of the Caribbean? Projects should offer new perspectives that develop relations between countries of the Caribbean and facilitate meetings and exchanges on migration.
- Caribbean Collaboration
- This theme is for projects that reflect or catalyze intra-regional cooperation and the promotion of arts across linguistic and geographic boundaries within the Caribbean and its Diasporas.
- Projects should reflect connections between the Caribbean community. Applicants must be working with a collaborator based in another Caribbean country and the project must be regional in scope or execution. For example: bringing the work of creatives from many different countries to one or more countries. Projects that reflect connections to the larger African Diaspora and the legacy of African culture in the Caribbean will also be considered.
