The Afghanistan Cultural Fund
The Afghanistan Cultural Fund is committed to supporting Afghan cultural practitioners. The fund addresses the needs of the cultural community for financial resources, capacity building, networking and community building.
The Fund aims to support artists in Afghanistan and abroad to continue their creative work, to ensure that cultural heritage is protected and valued, and that artistic expression is preserved despite challenges.
Open Call: Music Projects
We look forward to proposals that reflect the wide range of musical genres and styles, from traditional songs to contemporary compositions. Eligible projects may include, but are not limited to, music productions, compositions, educational and outreach programmes, research projects or the preservation of music archives.
Open Call: Storytelling Projects
Our second call for proposals focuses on supporting storytelling projects that capture the rich diversity of experiences and narratives of Afghan artists. We want to encourage cultural practitioners to explore the many ways in which Afghan life can be portrayed in times of dramatic upheaval and challenges. This can include forms such as poetry, literature, and translation, as well as plays, films, photographic essays, or documentary formats.
