Bamako, Mali Symposium on The Arts 

Tapping Local Resources for Sustainable Development in the 21st Century  (2nd Bamako Summer School) 

L'Université de Bamako/ University of Mali, Bamako, Mali 
22 -30 July, 2010

A call is made to arts professionals, researchers and interested others for contributions addressing one or more of the symposium strands: Arts Education Practice, Studio Practice, Curatorial/Museum/Community Arts Practice, Arts History/Criticism, Arts Administration/Management/Marketing Practice, and Open Session. The symposium entails paper presentations and practical activities such as workshops sessions, mini-projects, and artistic interventions that would result to an exhibition or public performance. With the practical acts and theoretical presentations we aim to promote critical dialogues on the best practices around the world on how the arts as resource feed civilizations in hope that we will generate new initiatives to boost human capital development in Mali in the 21st century. Interestingly, the symposium coincides with the celebration of the fifty year of independence of Mali. 

We define the arts broadly to include visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, design, new media/film production, arts history, arts criticism, arts education, arts administration and curatorship, and emerging others. We expect about 200 participants from around the world. The working language of the conference will be French and English. Applications for individual and team presentations will be reviewed until the space is filled. For paper presentation, all abstracts and short biographies (ca 100-150 words) should be submitted electronically to africoae@gmail.com; deadline for full paper (c. 3000 words) submission: 30th June 2010. For workshops and artistic interventions (visual arts, music and theatre) the proposals should be submitted to the Balani's Association at Bamako: balanise@yahoo.fr. 

The symposium is organized as collaboration between African Community of Arts Educators (AfriCOAE) and Balani's Association in conjunction with L'Université de Bamako, Ministry of Culture Mali and the Conservatory of Arts and Craft. Additional information such as the symposium programme, Bamako hotels and others related to the symposium will be sent to all registered participants well in advance of the conference.
