Activist in Residence (AiR)

The Activist in Residence (AiR) program is a month-long engagement that brings together progressive organisers, theorists, writers, artists, activists, and other practitioners seeking a quiet and safe space to strategise on advancing radical values and building power together across borders. 

This residency program brings together small transnational groups (or core members of much larger groups) who are currently cooperating across and/or beyond the African continent, spanning diverse contexts to build on their ongoing efforts and scale up transnational solidarity.

The AiR program utilises TCDC’s and its partners' people, knowledge, facilities, and spaces to strategise and take action on their shared goals. The group may create an action plan or other relevant outcome that helps them take the next steps to advance their cause.

 The program is designed with the residents — may include (but is not limited to) dialogues, reading sessions, creative sessions, games, excursions, and strategic planning.
