Deadline for submission: 11th October 2019.

Interested candidates should submit a CV and a one-page letter of motivation and/or a writing sample (1000 words max.) to info@contemporaryand.com.

One applicant from Colombia and one from Egypt will be accepted.

The invitation is open to young art writers in the very early stages of their career.

About the C& Mentoring Program:

The C& Mentoring Program invites young art writers from Africa and the Global Diaspora to establish a mentor-student relationship with senior arts writers. Over the course of half a year, the mentees produce one text per month which they submit to and work through with their mentor online (via e-mail, skype or else). The idea is to support the young art critics in developing their experiences and skills. They will receive a small fee and the possibility of publishing selected texts on the C& Online Magazine website.

Tutors: to be confirmed

Eligibility:

The participants should:

* Have first journalistic/writing experiences in the cultural field. Senior writers with long-term experiences will not be accepted.

* Be interested in a focus on visual arts.

* Be fluent in spoken and written in Arab / Spanish
