The NZINGA Residency aims to be a platform that promotes the empowerment of female artists. It supports and encourages cultural production by women and contributes to the creation of new synergies and cooperation between the Portuguese-speaking countries.
The programme is open to emerging female artists in contemporary African art (visual and plastic arts) who are nationals of one of the Portuguese-speaking African countries (Angola, Cabo Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, and São Tomé e Principe) or Timor Leste.
Together with three other artists you will work on your project during one month (October 2022) in the MOVART Gallery studio. You will be supported by the curator Ana Silva, co-founder of the Wuami Centre. The organisers will provide the materials. There will also be workshops (in collaboration with the Wuami Centre), an open studio and a final exhibition. Furthermore, one of the participating artists will have the opportunity to exhibit her work created during the residency in the MOVART Gallery in Lisbon. Accommodation and meals will be provided. Travel expenses are also covered (for artists outside Luanda).
