S+T+ARTS: Afropean Intelligence Programme 2025–2026 for African Artists (Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo)

Title of the call on an outline of a map of Africa.

S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence (#AI) opens a call for artists to support 10 artistic residencies in Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The project will support 10 African artists in their creation process, by providing digital tools and Afro-European transversal expertise; encouraging them to reshape narratives that promote social justice, inclusivity and challenge racial paradigms.

In a context where artificial intelligence occupies an exponential place and will inevitably impact tomorrow’s societies, the project aspires to explore the uses of this technology to address topics that are at the core of Africa’s today’s concerns – either on local or more global approaches.

To be an eligible applicant, proposals must be submitted by an individual artist or an artist collective who’s a permanent resident or a national of any African country. If applying as a collective, members who are not African residents or nationals can take part as long as at least one member who is a resident or a citizen of an African country is actively involved in the residency.

The programme includes:

  • An eight-month residency programme
  • Up to 20,000 EUR budget for artists residencies to cover the artist fee, the production costs, their travel and accommodation during their visit at the Residency Host institution in Africa, and their travel to the AI Boot Camp in November 2025 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
  • Guidance and support by the Residency Host Institutions in Africa and their twin in Europe.
  • Access to technology experts (in particular in the domain of Artificial Intelligence) provided by the Residency Host Institutions to support the development of the project.
  • Access to the S+T+ARTS network, composed of over 10,000 members worldwide.
