The project, titled Deconfining, has secured a grant from the Creative Europe Programme. It seeks to create new, equal cultural ties between Europe and Africa by developing a sustainable reference cooperation model to be later extended further to other regions of the world.

Building on the close collaboration between the two continents and the integration of their Capitals of Culture programmes, the project will bring together cultural practitioners, policymakers, performing, media/visual artists, in-field universities and audiences from both continents to explore and demonstrate new ways of intercontinental artistic and cultural (policy) cooperation and to contribute to a better understanding of confinement patterns from different points of view in an intercontinental perspective.

All this in order to break free from paternalistic and colonial views in favour of a strong participatory attitude and to provide better access and information for intercontinental mobility and transnational co-creation.
