PACE 2021
The Pan-African Creative Exchange (PACE) team welcomes you with open arms to PACE Entangled, our response and reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic.
PACE is Africa’s meeting point for interdisciplinary (performing arts) showcasing, networking and critical discourse. We’re delighted that you could all join us online during these unprecedented times, when unity in the art world is of the utmost importance.
Not everything is going to be perfect, but at least we are fighting back and not allowing the pandemic and global inequality to silence our voice.
PACE isn’t just a week of amazing performances –it’s a place to share ideas and best practice, to build partnerships and to foster collaboration. It’s a time to make new connections and to renew old ones. Please visit our Spotlight page where we highlight programs, performances and initiatives happening online prior to and during PACE Entangled. Check them out they are
great!
