La Monnaie I De Munt
As La Monnaie has taken at heart to bringing new narratives and anchoring opera in the 21st century challenges over the past years, the institution also wants to share its knowledge and experience to future generation of artists to make them change makers.
The participants will be able to work around the following questions:
1 / Social responsibility
2 / Environmental sustainability
3 / Financial sustainability
4 / Audience engagement
A short team assignment will be proposed to the artists (more information about that project will be send out to the selected participants in May) and time will be dedicated to preparing that small project/presentation.
A facilitator will be present during all of the workshop in order to be the main point of contact of the artists and speakers, to help with having an inclusive, objective and diverse dialogue around the topics that will be tackled.
The workshop will be mentored by Ayoko Mensah. Ayoko Mensah is an artistic curator and a cultural expert. Since 2024, she has been working as a curator at the House of European History in Brussels. Previously, she worked for seven years as an institutional advisor and artistic programmer at the Centre for Fine Arts (BOZAR) in Brussels where she was in charge of the Afropolitan Programme.
