68 Country-Specific Information the airport on a given day. – Mohamed Busneina, drummer, Content Developer & Head of Music Dept. of Tanarout, Benghazi Flight delays and complications · All respondents noted that travelling out of Libya is an extremely hazardous and at best time-consuming process. Flight delays are crazy – sometimes you wait 10 – 12 hours in the airport, waiting there for nothing. – Mohamed Busneina Harassment · Harassment at the airport is extremely common, namely for artists and especially for women travelling alone. At arrival at the airport, I was held for a while for no convincing reason. In my opinion, it was related to the fact that I am a Tunisian woman, unveiled and travelling alone to Libya. As the airport is still primarily controlled by militia, many of which are pro-Daesh, a woman travelling alone is as such a defiance. – Ouafa Belgacem, cultural resource mobilization expert, CEO of Culture Funding Watch, Tunis — L I B Y A — Lack of identification with Africa and racism · Racism is a major issue in Libya. Discrimination toward black Libyans and Africans is deep-seated, marked namely by the presence of racial stratifications and derogatory terms. However, it has taken new forms in recent years, especially as a result of the war, which has caused internal displacement for black Libyan communities, and the escalation of migration from African countries further south. Indeed, despite the strife and instability in the country, Libya is an important transit point for migrants trying to reach Europe. Human rights organizations have reported the vast range of abuses that migrants face, from arbitrary detentions, to beatings, to killings. In 2016, the IOM reported that migrant Africans were being sold as slaves in Libya; in 2017, CNN published a video of a slave auction that sparked an international outcry. In the media and in everyday conversation, Libya is described as a dangerous place for black Africans. Lack of infrastructures and professional training · As described above, there is a glaring lack of infrastructures and facilities for the arts in Libya’s main centres, due to repression during the Gaddafi era and subsequent destruction during the years of conflict. Nevertheless, the centres described above are eager to connect with foreign artists and are building facilities that could host mobility projects in the future. · The new generation of Libyan artists and cultural operators is largely self-taught, making it difficult for them to compete with international artists in funding calls. They are however highly motivated and are seeking out opportunities for training whenever available. I’m self-taught. All of us have to learn the hard way. Lots of things, we learn via the Internet. We can’t find materials in the country for many types of art. At Tanarout we’re all volunteers. – Dina Gallal, photographer, Tanarout, Benghazi
