British Council Launches Residency Programme for Artists from War-Torn Countries
Nine artists from regions impacted by conflict will undertake residencies across Britain as part of a new programme initiated by the British Council.
Participants include Yasmine Rifaii, an artist from Lebanon, and others from countries such as Ukraine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Palestine.
“Just as the British Council was established in 1934 to support artists and creatives in countries across the world in the face of political danger, we continue this mission today.” - Ruth Mackenzie, Director of Arts at the British Council
The programme, running until July next year, aims to support artists and cultural professionals whose work has been impacted by war.
