| Dear all, This month has been an important moment for MANIFEST. We had our introductory online meetings with all the artists to discuss our first upcoming artistic residency. Our team also continues working on the Resources publications and share the knowledge about the transatlantic trade of enslaved people. You will find new articles covering the absence of memorial sites in Portugal, actors in the fight for enslaved people's lives and legacies of the transatlantic trade on our website.
The 30th of April marks International Jazz Day, recognised for promoting peace, cultural dialogue, diversity and respect for human rights. MANIFEST created "The Blueprint: a story of Jazz&Rap evolutions in the post-slavery world" playlist, highlighting jazz's role in bringing people together and raising awareness of the need for intercultural exchange and understanding of the transatlantic slave trade ➡️ Read on to learn more about these and other news of the MANIFEST project.

| Our first encounter with the artists behind the selected 12 projects |
|
This April, we had our first online meetings with all the artists and collectives, behind the 12 selected projects, for MANIFEST Artistic Residencies. We all got to know each other a little better. During this meeting, with the support of CUMEDIAE and Les Anneaux de la Mémoire, our partners Pro Progressione, Khora and Gerador gave a detailed presentation about the first artistic residency in Budapest that will happen in June.
You can also meet our artists by keeping an eye on our social media as we progressively present our artists, where you can learn more about them, their opinions, influences and fun facts! |
