  I am delighted to announce that the Africa Prime Initiative (API), in collaboration with Gallery Soview, has selected the five recipients of our grant for emerging artists in #Ghana. I want to thank all the remarkably talented artists who submitted their applications and shared their passion and creativity with us. The level of talent and dedication demonstrated by each applicant was truly inspiring. Since launching #API in 2022, our mission has been to empower and provide a platform for African creators to showcase their work, ensuring authentic representation of African cultures on the global stage. This grant is a testament to our ongoing commitment to nurturing and supporting the incredible artistic talent that exists in Africa. Stay tuned for the upcoming exhibition where Gallery Soview will showcase the extraordinary work of these winning #artists.

By leveraging technology, producing local content, and encouraging collaboration, African media can overcome obstacles and drive positive change. The time has come for Africa's media to take on its crucial role in creating a more thriving and transparent future: Africa needs its own media plan to drive democracy – The Mail & Guardian (mg.co.za)
