28 Summary of Outcomes The program offers 25 to 30 grants per year in three rounds. Al Mawred Al-Thaqafy has also supported mobility via its training programs for cultural managers. 2. Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) Based in Beirut, the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture – AFAC was founded in 2007 through the initiative of Arab cultural activists as an independent foundation to support individual artists, writers, researchers, intellectuals, as well as organizations from the Arab region working in the field of arts and culture. AFAC currently runs nine open call grants programs and one training program by nomination. Each grants program has one annual open call during which applications are submitted online. The grants are not mobility grants. However, travel is covered so long as it is part of the implementation of a project. In addition, AFAC has just launched the new North Africa Cultural Program (NACP), a three-year program (2019 – 2022) dedicated to five countries in North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. It comprises two support schemes, a National Fund and a Regional Fund. The program is run through an open-call scheme and covers institutional and programmatic support to active arts organizations based in the five countries, including cross-border collaborations. 3. Mophradat Based in Belgium, Mophradat offers a granting program for artists to support individuals, collaborations, or collectives to develop their practice. Among other activities, the grants can be used to pursue threads of research, stage an event, make new work, publish, travel, take part in a residency or workshop, or present an exhibition or performance. Average amount is $5.000. Mophradat’s emphasis is on contemporary art. Activities or projects can take place anywhere in the world, but must be carried out by artists living or working in the Arab world and/or engaged with the Arab world. 4. Roberto Cimetta Fund (RCF) Based in Paris, the Roberto Cimetta Fund is an international non-profit grant-making organization supporting the mobility and creativity of artists and cultural operators in Europe, the Arab world and beyond.
29 Summary of Outcomes The RCF provides support for mobility through two programmes: a – the Mobility fund; and b – Tamteen, or the support fund. The Mobility Fund is divided into two streams: the General Fund, and specific funding lines, which vary from year to year. The General Fund is open to artists and cultural operators living and working in the Euro-Arab-Middle East geographical zone. Applicants from the MENA region or the Balkan countries can apply to travel to other African regions (as well as Asia or other world regions). A maximum of 3 individuals per group may be covered. The Tamteen support fund can cover mobility as part of the structuring of oganizations and collectives in the Arab world. Maximum funding is 3.000 euros. Five projects are selected per call. 5. Africa Art Lines An inspiring new initiative is Africa Art Lines, run by Morocco-based civil society organization Afrikayna. Launched in 2016, Africa Art Lines provides mobility grants to projects connecting Morocco and other African countries. It does so through two main schemes: 1) Partnerships with organizations and events; 2) Open calls. Support is delivered via the host organization. See Morocco section for more detail. — EMBASSIES AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION INSTITUTES — Many artists and cultural operators in North Africa have travelled thanks to funding provided by embassies and international cooperation institutes present in their cities. However, there are at present no formal mobility schemes and funding is thus generally provided on a case-by-case basis, often through artists’ or cultural operators’ personal connections within the institutes. A bilateral component or connection to the European country is generally a prerequisite for funding to be provided. The most prominent cooperation institute across the region is the Institut Français, which retains a strong presence in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria. The Goethe Institut facilitated mobility for a number of cultural actors through its Moving MENA travel fund (2013 – 2017). However, the fund is no longer operational. The Goethe continues to organize occasional cultural training programs in the region. Pro Helvetia has also supported projects in Tunisia and Egypt.
