African Artists at Risk: Opportunities for Temporary Shelter and Relocation (Summary Document)

Abstract: Threats to both creativity and freedom of expression are on the rise globally, with Africa as no exception. As a result, artists, journalists and human rights defenders are seeking out shelter or safer locations in order to escape harm. However, the support systems cur­rently in place predominantly relocate at­-risk African artists to Europe and North America, which poses an additional set of social, cultural and economic challenges. This brief summarises key findings and recom­mendations of a report that investigates the successes and challenges of devel­oping temporary shelter and relocation initiatives based in Africa
