Headquarters (HQ) Africa2020
Pan-African cultural centers
Each headquarter (HQ), hosted by a cultural institution, is designed as a small temporary pan-African cultural centrer accommodating several multidisciplinary projects (exhibitions, shows, concerts, film projections, round tables, master classes, creative workshops, culinary experiences).
Each HQ, set up by an African team in partnership with the hosting organisation, develops a programme with African associations and experts in cultural audience outreach lasting several weeks, and resonating with one or several of the main themes of the Africa2020 Season. The idea behind setting up the headquarters is to increase the number of opportunities for the African people involved (operators, artists, scholars) and the French public to meet. An Africa2020 HQ encourages areas of dialogue focussing on the challenges of the 21st century led by the Season. The creation of Headquarters in various French cities allows to develop a closer relationship with local communities that will be able to associate the Season with a permanent space. A HQ is a friendly meeting place, where people can discuss, exchange ideas, experiment and also obtain information on the projects proposed in the region and in the rest of France.
