Artvocate Africa develops initiatives advancing collective knowledge on art, law, human rights, sustainable economic development and democratic principles in Africa and beyond.
Artists, throughout history, often have the vision and genius of predicting the future by questioning existing anomalies, injustices or by acting as a silent witness to contemporary society. They do this through detachment, critical observation and deeper perception of their own community.
Originating in 2012 in recognition of the bridges that can be built in fundamental legal principles using the power of art to create new, authentic individual and national identities in emerging countries throughout Africa. Art and culture frequently pre-empt social change by challenging existing norms. Culture does not have fixed borders or rigid definitions; but rather facilitates the ongoing transformation of an exchange of ideas including those resulting from migration, integration, assimilation and globalization, bringing together individuals, groups and cultures into closer contact, even when at times they are striving for their individual separate identities. Artvocate Africa believes that difference or unfamiliarity can provide the key to greater connectivity in society.
