Beschreibung

Scientific Study from the year 2015 in the subject Art - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: The field of non-formal art/s education and vocational training for artists in Africa leads a shadowy existence. Although embracing the vital interface of education/art/culture, related approaches and projects frequently fail to meet the prevalent funding frames. However, African actors have long been autonomously contouring and shaping the interstitial space of non-formality with their ideas, concepts, and practice. What concrete form does their work take? What basic conditions is it subject to? Which formative effects are caused by current cultural and funding policies? These and other questions are elaborated in this volume with special reference to five actors in South Africa, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia. The authors are: Nicola Lauré al-Samarai, Fouad Asfour, Judith Reker, Rangoato Hlasane and Malose Malahlela
