FUSED: French U.S. Exchange in Dance fosters dialogue, strengthens professional relationships, and sparks creative artistry through cultural exchanges by introducing choreographers and performers whose works had never or rarely been seen in the partner country. As such, artists founded by the program achieve international recognition and reach new audiences.

The success of this program led to its expansion: co-produced projects by artist from Africa, the Carribean and the Middle East and a French cultural institution are now eligible to the grant.

Call for proposals is open until February 2, 2020.

SCAD Museum of Art presents The Golden March, a new public art commission and the first museum solo exhibition in the U.S. by Raphaël Barontini. 

"The Golden March" comprises two parts: a performance in collaboration with a local high school marching band and a site-specific installation of new work for the four iconic Jewel Boxes lining the facade of the museum.

While influenced by Caribbean thinkers such as Edouard Glissant, Barontini's work explores issues of representation and race.

The exhibition is curated by Storm Janse van Rensburg and has been made possible with additional funding from Étant donnés Contemporary Art, a program of the French American Cultural Exchange (FACE) Foundation.

Through the meeting of three emblematic communities of the "Second Life" virtual universe - furries, Goreans and Christian evangelists -, the film questions the porosity between real life and virtual life.

The Film screening and discussion with the Film director Alain Della Negra will be held at Georgia Tech.

The full line-up will be enveiled in January.
