Description

The French Embassy in Benin is launching a call for applications for the third edition of the *Inspiration Bénin – au Cœur des Mondes Africains* (Inspiration Benin – At the Heart of African Worlds) program, open to Francophone artists from around the world.

*Inspiration Bénin – au Cœur des Mondes Africains* was conceived in 2024 in partnership with MansA (Maison des Mondes Africains) in Paris and the Beninese Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and the Arts—with guidance from Marie-Cécile Zinsou—and is implemented by the Institut Français du Bénin.

This residency program aims to foster encounters, knowledge exchange, and lasting collaborations among artists, institutions, researchers, artisans, holders of traditional knowledge, and local communities. It offers a unique space for exploration, allowing artists to enrich their creative practice through engagement with Benin’s cultural, historical, social, and contemporary realities.
