June 16, 2025 – The British Council has announced an open call for a delivery partner for the next phase of its Art Exchange: Moving Image programme, which will run from 2025 to 2027. This initiative is designed to support early- to mid-career visual arts curators in Sub-Saharan Africa by building a cross-cultural platform focused on moving image art.
“This programme is about creating meaningful connections between African-based artists and international collections,” said the British Council. “We’re looking for a strong partner to deliver this impactful experience.”
The selected partner will manage all aspects of the programme, which includes curatorial development, professional training, and exhibition curation featuring moving image works from the British Council Collection alongside African artists.
Eligible applicants must be based in or working across Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, or Zimbabwe. The British Council emphasized that the partner will need the capacity to deliver a full programme across multiple regions, ensuring both artistic and logistical excellence.
Key dates include the open call launch on 16 June 2025, proposal deadline on 21 July 2025, clarification deadline on 27 June 2025, and the announcement of the chosen partner on 31 July 2025.
