Moving Narratives amplifies artistic and creative practices that move our understanding of the past and drive our visions of the future in new directions through the affective, discursive, and transformative power of culture. Dominant historical and social narratives tend to exclude the experiences and stories of marginalised communities, silence critical voices, and erase, overlook, or at times over-emphasise differences. Presenting one-sided or partial accounts of history, these narratives often reflect systems of power and contribute to social inequalities. Are you an artist or cultural practitioner who believes that culture can play a vital role in questioning dominant narratives and their role in our lives? The Prince Claus Fund & the British Council invites you to apply to the Mentorship Award: Moving Narratives, a multidisciplinary programme that re-examines legacies of the past, defies euro-centric social and historical discourses, centres the perspectives of marginalised communities, and forges connections between contemporary emancipatory movements and their historical roots. With the Mentorship Award: Moving Narratives, the Prince Claus Fund and the British Council will bring together 12 experienced, socially and politically engaged artists and cultural practitioners (± 7-15 years of relevant professional experience) working across diverse mediums, approaches, and interpretations of the mentorship’s overarching theme. This pilot programme will adopt various interactive formats that range from workshops, reading groups, guest talks, and peer-to-peer review sessions. Most of the activities will be online, but the cohort will come together twice in person for the Labs (six-day intensive mentoring sessions). Within the framework of the programme, the cohort will collectively create a joint project in the form of a printed publication and an online platform. The programme will begin in January/February 2024 and will run over one year. Applicants must live and work in eligible countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Eastern Europe. Each participant will receive an award of €10,000 to work on the project or body of work outlined in their application. The Prince Claus Fund and the British Council will cover the costs related to the mentorship programme itself, including travel expenses, visa costs, and stay.
