Desde Adentro A project by Asociación Cultural Mercado Central The Desde Adentro project will take place in the premises of Santa Margarita rehabilitation center at Lima and it is to create an audio-visual laboratory for and by underage women in the detention center. 15-20 young women will participate in filmmaking workshops and activities, where they will learn different formats of cinematographic language to create their own stories. Gender discrimination, poverty and sexual violence against women is an undeniable crisis in Peruvian society. Limited access to education, to resources and inequalities in working condition mislead young women to an ‘’easy way out’’ or namely to drug trafficking. According to reports by INPE (National Penitentiary Institute), between sixty to seventy percent of women in prison were arrested on charges of drug trafficking and 85 percent have children to support at home. There are single mothers who are living with their children in the prison, pregnant women, or women that have experienced sexual violence or harassment. We can understand that the participants of this project are in a vulnerable situation both as imprisoned individuals at an early age and as women within a socially unequal society. _++Outputs:++_

Cultural and Artistic Responses to Environmental Change Supporting projects, ideas and responses to environmental change, in collaboration with the Goethe Institute Why and What: Alarming changes in nature and our environment are all around us: forests and wild-life are disappearing; air and oceans are increasingly polluted; sea levels are rising, and the frequen-cy of extreme weather phenomena is increasing. The new collaboration ‘Cultural and Artistic Re-sponses to Environmental Change’ from Goethe-Institut and the Prince Claus Fund, initiated in Au-gust 2018 seeks to support artistic and cultural initiatives that engage local communities as well as global institutions in finding solutions to these challenges.

Where: The calls are aimed at DAC-listed countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Caribbean and Eastern Europe.

What we wish to accomplish: Support artistic and cultural initiatives that envision a future for our planet that is more environmentally friendly, and cultural/artistic responses to how we can jointly get there.

How: It seeks to support initiatives that enable local communities as well as global institutions to en-gage with the threatening changes of nature and our environment through contemporary artistic and cultural interventions. We encourage ground-breaking cultural initiatives by individual artists, creative professionals as well as cultural organisations; especially initiatives that express how the arts and new media can propose solutions to environmental issues and create alternatives that support sustainability and foster cooperation and an exchange of new ideas globally. We are specifically looking to support initiatives that:

1. Employ new media to re-imagine a more sustainable world, and provide space for different per-spectives within the sustainability discussion;

2. Promote the inclusion of women and minority groups;

3. Support concrete cultural initiatives that enable local impact while encouraging a global exchange on culture of sustainability and climate justice;

4. Encourage out of the box initiatives by artists and cultural practitioners looking to re-imagine con-ventional approaches to environmental sustainability and climate justice;

5. Support the development of artistic and creative initiatives that reinforce and rethink traditional knowledge and methods as a means to promote sustainability and climate justice;

6. Stimulate and inspire communities to use sustainable materials and resources within their own contexts and practice.
Preserving the collection of the Amadou Hampâté Bâ Foundation A project by Fondation Amadou Hampâté Bâ The Amadou Hampâté Bâ Foundation in Abidjan, Ivory Coast hosts a rich collection of books and manuscripts pertaining to the personal archive of the Malian writer, thinker, and historian, who is a pivotal figure in the literature and heritage of 20th-century Africa. The collection is threatened by extreme humidity as well as by insects. The project focuses on first measures for the physical preservation of the documents, which complement the systematic inventory of the collection though a separate project supported by UNESCO.

Over the course of six months, the staff of the Amadou Hampâté Bâ Foundation will first receive training on techniques for the cleaning and preservation of paper materials, and will then proceed to dry clean the documents and store them in custom-made boxes in a protected, dehumidified environment. 

These activities represent the first phase of a wider plan aimed at preserving, cataloguing, and ultimately digitizing the documents of this valuable collection.
Micro-abyecciones A project by Compañía CroMagnon CroMagnon is a group of performing artists using music, theatre and performance to question gender issues in Mexico. Inspired by the philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler, they will create of a play based on research of masculinity in the Mexican songbook, as well as a musical concert based on research around the invisibility of women in academia and industry and a series urban interventions that will question the binary gender in the public space. Machismo is a well-recognized phenomenon in Mexican culture. The word machismo is derived from macho, which means male. The real macho possesses many traits of honor, dignity, and courage. He exemplifies masculine aggressiveness and sexual virility. The negative extremes of machismo center on absolute power in the form of violence and exploitation. Machismo is the underlying cause of family conflicts. Mexican Investigative journalist Lydia Cacho said that many men received a misogynistic education growing up, which conditions them to "kill their sensitivity," so as to avoid being ostracized from the so-called masculine world by being regarded as homosexuals.

CroMagnon is inspired by the American philosopher and gender theorist Judith Butler whose work has influenced political philosophy, ethics, and the fields of third-wave feminist, queer, and literary theory. Butler is best known for her books Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity and Bodies That Matter: She challenges conventional notions of gender and develops her theory of gender performativity. This theory has had a major influence on feminist and queer scholarship. Outputs

10 performances in an independent theatre of which 2 will be exclusively for students of a play derived from a six-month workshop where the construction of the male as a national stereotype from 1930 is studied through the Mexican songbook:

6 concerts derived from a research around the feminine sonar universe to be held in music conservatories and in "cultured" music forums

4 urban interventions based on a nine months research into feminine expression in public space questioning violent and visceral reactions towards non-binary gender.

Outcomes

Visual Culture Research Centre Prince Claus Fund Network Partners Visual Culture Research Centre (VCRC) is an interdisciplinary organization working in the fields of exhibition-making, publishing, and organizing public debates and video productions. Established in 2008, initially as a joint initiative of young faculty members and students at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla (NaUKMA), it subsequently transitioned to being an independent organization after one of its exhibitions (“Ukrainian body”, 2012) was censored by the rector of the University due to its controversial approach to issues of corporeality, gender and sexuality in post-Soviet Ukraine. Since 2014, VCRC is running a permanent programme from its newly established cultural centre in Kyiv. The activities of VCRC include: _i)_ the organization of the Kyiv Biennial (since 2015); \_ii) \_the founding and co-editing of the Ukrainian edition of the ‘Political Critique’ magazine (‘[++Krytyka Polityczna++](http://ukraine.politicalcritique.org/)’, since 2011); \_iii) \_a permanent programme of exhibitions, lectures, and debates at their cultural centre in Kyiv (in average 3-4 events per week and 4-5 exhibitions per year).
CyborgFeminista a project by TEDIC TEDIC is a non-profit organization focusing on the defense of human rights in the digital sphere with a gender perspective. Their project CyborgFeminista will materialize in a pop-up tech expo with interactive installations at the Juan de Salazar Cultural Center in Asuncíon, Py. The project will target young people and critically explore the intersection of gender, technology, and digital rights. Together with several other Latin American countries, Paraguay has experienced in the past couple of years a conservative turn, which – as far as digital rights of the population are concerned – has materialized in attempts to promote laws expanding governmental control over personal information and over digital spaces (mass surveillance, 5-year mandatory data storage for ISPs, etc.). At the same time, laws regulating and protecting personal data on social networks are lacking, this exposing users to unwanted data collection. However, many people – especially young people – heavily rely on the web as a space to explore alternatives to an grievous reality and to express their (digital) identity. 

In such a context, where the risk is concrete that the government exerts forms of surveillance, while also disseminating misleading information, TEDIC has been a pioneering organization in the production of work related to Digital Rights, Technology, Gender, and Open culture. Since 2017, they have been hosting Hackerfem, an annual open gathering and safe space for exchange for women from different sectors focusing on the use and appropriation of technologies. On the same year they also created the web platform Cyborg Feministas (which aims at building a more democratic Internet by developing and sharing information, research, and tools for a web that is more inclusive of all minorities in its design and development. The proposed project constitutes a further development of this web platform, as it would apply the same principles and goals to the creation of a physical exhibition. _++Outputs++__: _5 concepts for interactive artistic installations focusing on the intersection of gender, technology, and digital rights, proposed by young artists or collective of artists, are developed into physical installations during 2-months training workshops open to the public; a pop-up exhibition of the 5 installations is open to the public for 1 month.

_++Outcome++_: through attendance to the workshops and visit to the exhibition, 100 young people are more interested in, and knowledgeable on their digital rights.

_++Impact++__: _digital rights of young people are better defended in a more inclusive, free, and safe cyberspace. young people
Negro tá na Moda a project by Cleissa De Oliveira Martins Negro tá na moda is a 10-episode documentary web series that will display the trajectory of young black people who are developing their own fashion brands. In Brazil it is still rare to see black people in fashion, however there are young people who are opening shops breaking into the field. The project intends to document their work and lives in order to inspire others to explore their creativity. In Brazil 54% of the population is black, but racism still prevents access to many spaces for black people. In early 2019 the director of a renowned fashion magazine gave a birthday party with a racist theme, in which she celebrated slavery. This is just one example of racism within the fashion industry, where both designers and models find it hard to start and sustain careers. This project intends to start a discussion in racism in the fashion industry, and offer a platform to young black designers who are doing ground-breaking work. ++Outputs++ 

Produce 10 episodes of the web series

Interview 12 young creatives paving a way in the fashion industry

Objetos em redes a project by Os Dois Produções Artísticas Ltda. This project, Objetos em redes by Os Dois Produções Artísticas, calls attention to the problem of plastic waste in Brazil. Os Dois will engage 8 art, dance and audio-visual students to educate them and stage dance performances about body-waste relations, in 5 marginalised areas of the city. The performances will incorporate waste materials as props, and are intended to inspire sustainability and recycling in local communities. Video recording of the performances will be shared with local NGOs to ensure sustainability of the ideas created and a wider reach. Globally, Brazil is the 4th-largest producer of garbage, amounting to more than 11 million tonnes a year according to the WWF, only 1.28% of which is recycled. Especially in large cities, the enormous amounts of waste pose a threat to the environment and to public health. In Rio de Janeiro, garbage mostly ends up in landfills, and only a small part is recycled by formal recycling companies. In the favelas, there are barely any systems in place for waste disposal. Objetos em redes will raise awareness of the waste problem through performances in the streets of Rio, and through collaboration with NGOs these videos will reach ‘ghetto and risk areas’. Outputs 

	40 hours of workshops for 20 dance, art and audio-visual students on the topic of dance, object-partner concept, performance. 8 will be chosen for the performance.
