General Information
The association BJCEM was founded in 2001 in Sarajevo, during the 10th edition of the homonymous event. The first Biennial was held in Barcelona in 1985 and for more than 15 years it was promoted by an informal network and realized every two years in a different city. After its birth in 2001 with 23 founders, the Association had a constant development and nowaday includes 73 members from 22 countries, as cultural institutions, public bodies and independent organizations. The annual budget is about 250.000 euros, 35% of our income are ensured by the membership annual fee, 20% from EU funding, on the program Youth in action 4.1, the rest comes from fundraising and sponsoring activities related to our main events or to other projects we promote. We usually cooperate with international partners as Culture Action Europe, Euromed platform, Goethe-institut international, Art Council England.
Mission and Objectives

We are a cultural and artistic network that point out with attention and coherence political and social issues. We try to achieve this goal trough a participative planning and design of our activities, that are not imposed by above or abroad but directly realized by organizations locally based and with direct contact with their cultural context and the local art scene.
This is a crucial moment of change in the Mediterranean area and we do believe it is important to promote activities and opportunities of exchanges and dialogue in particular in the territories that are more affected to the crisis.
We believe that youth and art are essential keys for the rising of pacific relations and sustainable development in the euromediterranean area.

Main Projects / Activities

The 15th Biennale de la Mediterranée inaugurate a new format based on a long term process that aims to give continuity to the activities and events promoted by the network in order to offer more opportunities to the artists and accompanying them in their growth process.
The social, political and cultural context of the Mediterranean is constantly in evolution and we want to be flexible and open in order to continue being a point of reference, raise questions, sustain mobility and foster the intercultural dialogue.
The events is a long journey that starts in Thessaloniki in october 2011, continues in Rome in dcember 2011 and to get to the conclusion in Casablanca in february 2012.

General Information

BAAC is a non-profit association incorporated in 2022. The directors are Fabien Marie & Olivier Renson. The advisory committee is made up of 11 influential people (see brochure). Our annual budget is approximately EUR 100,000. Our sources of funding Sources of funding: subsidies, sponsorship, donations, recipes. Our methods of action are : Publishing, Research Centre, Documentations & Archives, Cultural Meditation, Young Ambassadors, Residencies, Events, Mentoring & Masterclasses. Our main partners are : InExca, SNCB, TETRA AFRICA, COCOF Commission Communautaire française, Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles, Minisistère de la Culture de la République Togolaise, Prométhéa, AAC55, Africa Film Festival, Claes Gallery, Inside_Out Gallery, LAB.AN, MUS Africa, Palais de Lomé, ASAKAN, ON ART, LE NOUVEAU REPORTER.

Mission and Objectives

Our aim is to explore the creative cross-fertilisation resulting from deep and complex interactions between individuals, cultures and values, in order to bring to the fore unique and hitherto unseen visual and visual works. The Brussels African Art Center is a protean contemporary art centre open to Africa and its influences. Various artistic projects and cultural programmes will be devised and offered to the public. Afro-descendant, Belgian, European and non-African artists who approach and question Africa through their artistic approach will also be invited and integrated into the Centre's programming.

In BAAC's view, the creation of an art center today (both its vision and its missions) must be approached in the light of societal and socio-cultural changes, as well as current economic and political mutations, all of which are synergistically upending the world of contemporary creation and the universe that surrounds it, modes of consumption and cultural usage. The art world is entering a new era, which represents a unique opportunity to re-imagine the territories of art. With this paradigm shift in mind, we have decided to revisit the concept of the art centre to create a resolutely new, agile structure of artistic representation, interconnected with globalised Africa and the rest of the world. A structure in tune with the needs of the pan-African creative scene, market players and audiences of all generations.

B.A.A.C's missions are focused and coherent. They revolve around the current and future needs of artists, audiences and market players; three inseparable and permanent components of contemporary artistic creation :

1) Propulsor of Artists & Creators
To transform the pan-African artistic fabric by developing a tailor-made support service for established artists and young creators.
This offer will enable them to benefit from high-quality advice, training, mentoring, networking, operational support, promotion and dissemination, enabling them to make a lasting impact on the global artistic landscape. This offer will enable them to benefit from high-quality advice, training, mentoring, networking, operational support, promotion and dissemination, enabling them to make a lasting impact on the global artistic landscape.

2) Cultural Mediation & Archiving
To encourage dialogue between artists, their works and audiences by setting up specific cultural mediation programmes aimed at raising awareness and forging knowledge of Pan-African contemporary creation on a large scale. This work will be made possible thanks to (1) the conservation of documentary resources relating to B.A.A.C's exhibitions and artistic projects, including archival sources, and (2) free access for all.

3) Facilitator
To create bridges between artists - creators, curators, gallery owners, collectors, buyers and all other players from the private and public sectors. To open up the art market and become a genuine interface of facilitation and trust for all parties.
