Open call: Afro Pepites Show 2024

Three selected projects (Pepites) will be integrated into the African Dream platform and will benefit from support in communication, and possibly in management. The projects will be submitted to a committee of experts from the cultural sector and showcased so that everyone can have an enriching digital experience.

The international call is open to artists (musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, photographers, street artists, filmmakers, stylists, storytellers, humorists and poets) from Africa, the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Jamaica, Cuba or any other artists inspired by Africa.

Selection criteria

The committee will select projects that must stand out for their quality, their originality and/or their commitment. The organisers invite artists or their representatives to choose carefully the work to be shared.

Selected projects

Projects selected by the African Dream will benefit from the communication tools needed to draw attention:

• Access to the African Dream network of more than 12 200 contacts organisers, managers, producers and media, 25 000 contacts subscribers and fans of African culture.
• The artists will benefit from the popularity of the African Dream social networks – more than 50 000 Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn followers 
  – and the strength of its partner networks.
• The artists will benefit from the African Dream skills (management, production, distribution and bookings).
