Unchained Vibes Africa invites applications from young emerging artists and culture activists based in Nigeria to participate in the 2025 Freedom Vibes Academy.
The Academy is a one-year program aimed at training and strengthening the advocacy capabilities of young socially and politically conscious artists and culture activists to promote and defend freedom of expression and democracy in Nigeria through their arts.
Participants will gain skills on best practices in art and activism and will be exposed to local, regional and international opportunities to develop their works and promote democracy in Nigeria.
The program will cover transportation expenses for all selected participants. Return flights will be booked only for a limited number of participants from outside the Northwest region. Hotel accommodation and feeding will be provided for all selected participants.
Each selected participant will receive a small per diem payment to cover incidental expenses during the in-person component in Kano. Internet connectivity expenses will be covered for the virtual/online mentorship component to facilitate seamless participation. The four best individual projects will be supported financially and showcased at Freedom Vibes events.
Application deadline is December 13, 2024. Successful applicants will be notified before the end of December 2024.
