SPARCK - Space for Pan-African Research Creation and Knowledge
SPARCK is a multi-sited, multi-disciplinary project. It is structured around a series of residencies for artists from across Africa and the African Diaspora working in numerous media and styles, a wide range of exhibitions, installations, performances, screenings, Internet link-ups, publications, round-table discussions and workshops. Its initiatives are directed at a diverse body of publics and actively engage local communities.
SPARCK is a triennial endeavour. Its first three-years initiative (2009-2011) is entitled “Net / Works: Trans-Local Cultures in the Making of African Worlds.” This initiative explores intersections between creativity in multiple fields (visual, performance and new media arts; the spoken and written words; on-the-ground and in-the-virtual-world activism) and emergent urban spaces in the African world. It brings Cape Town and South Africa into a lively exchange with networks of urban artists, activists and scholars from three countries: Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Senegal.For more info contact info@africacentre.net
