In a fast-changing world, an artist’s journey is not only about creating art but also about gaining a full understanding of the ecosystem. Marketing and distribution are always the last or forgotten step that one thinks of when creating. This session will examine the roles of funding agencies and diplomatic missions in the pre-production, production, and post-production of poetry globally, and how partnerships may serve as a bridge to address the distribution gap by creating mobility for creatives. Join Ismail Mahomed and Panel Members: National DSAC, NAC, Goethe-Institut & IFAS.
