Accelerator Open Call – Between Here and Elsewhere
1952 Africa is thrilled to announce that applications are now open for the 4th edition of our Art Accelerator.
This annual accelerator aims to boost the careers of early-stage artists through a three-month residency that provides essential resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities to cultivate a thriving art practice. We welcome artists working in all mediums, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, film and digital art. We encourage all anglophone artists between the ages of 18 to 35 in West Africa to apply.
This year’s Accelerator takes inspiration from a meditation on transience and connection. Between Here and Elsewhere invites artists to reflect on the poetics and politics of movement and the meaning of home across landscapes, disciplines, languages, economies, and histories.
Applications close by 11:59pm (WAT) on 30th July, 2025.
