An Exercise in Sitting with Discomfort (Summary Report)
Get PDFTemporary international relocation initiatives (TIRIs) for artists and cultural workers are a form of international solidarity. Yet they are embedded in a context shaped by colonial history and global North-South power dynamics. In this report, the authors draw on the experiences of relocated artists as well as those of team members within TIRIs and host organisations to examine if TIRIs are currently equipped to identify power asymmetries, injustice, discrimination and racism at individual, institutional and structural levels and to effectively mitigate them. Finally, they develop holistic practical recommendations for greater equity and justice as well as an anti-racist approach for TIRIs and host organisations. This report addresses decision-makers and teams in TIRIs and host organisations, arts institutions, funders and policymakers. Both recognizing the existence of structural, systemic and individual injustice, racism and discrimination, and contributing to their eradication requires discomfort and constant self-reflection. Therefore, this report is an exercise in sitting with discomfort. The authors see this discomfort as a catalyst for change processes - an engine to sustain pressure to enact this change that cannot simply be dissolved by individual action.

Nigeria: at a glance
Get PDFConsisting of at least 200 ethnic groups that speak 500 indigenous languages, Nigeria possesses rich cultural resources with its heritage of high ethnic and cultural diversity. However, the lack of an up-to-date federal cultural policy has imposed challenges on nation branding and exter- nal cultural relations of the country. Lucrative creative industries like Nollywood and Afrobeats are one of the most crucial venues for Nigeria to exercise its soft power. Despite its challenging domestic situation, Nigeria has fast-growing media and ICT industries, which push new developments in diaspora and digital diplomacy
