S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence

S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence aims to create spaces for reflection and experimentation at the intersection of the arts, science and technology through a cooperative approach between 11 cultural organizations across Africa and Europe.

---

Afropean Intelligence supports African artists (as well as artists based on the continent) in their research and creative process, providing them with innovative digital tools and cross-disciplinary expertise. Through the S+T+ARTS Prize Africa and a program of ten residencies deployed in five countries (Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo), the project will support African artists in their creation process, by providing digitals tools and Afro-European transversal expertise; encouraging them to reshape narratives that promote social justice, inclusivity and challenge racial paradigms.

By bringing together CCI experts, artists, technologists and scientific figures, the project promotes a reflexive intercultural dialogue through artistic innovation, and takes a critical look at technologies such as (generative) AI. Through these intersecting voices, in a context where artificial intelligence occupies an exponential place and will inevitably shape the face of tomorrow’s societies, S+T+ARTS Afropean Intelligence aspires to question Afro-European narratives and promote a global humanist discourse while taking care to preserve cultural heritage and local identities.
