Deadline: January 26, 2018

The British Council, LIFT and Battersea Arts Centre are offering an opportunity for two West African artists to join the New International Voices residency programme in London from 11-24 June, part of LIFT 2018. The programme will support a new generation of international artists who are in the early stages of their professional practice. It is committed to enabling artists to develop and present new work in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Based at Battersea Arts Centre, the residency is a chance for individual West African artists to test out new ideas, to challenge the way they work, and create new international networks. Through a communal living environment, artists will have opportunities to share, reflect and develop practice with peers. They will also be part of an exciting LIFT festival programme and can attend a number of the performances.
