For 22 years, the festival Tvůrčí Afrika (Creative Africa) has been bringing together Czech and African artists and promoting African and Caribbean cultures in the Czech Republic. On the occasion of International Africa Day, and in cooperation with embassies of African states in Prague, we are honoured to present the Creative Africa Award to French theatre scholar Sylvia Chalaye, a specialist in Francophone Sub-Saharan dramaturgy; Alfred Alexandre, a playwright, writer and poet from Martinique; journalist and dramaturge Jana Paterová; and actor Maxim Mededa, a Beninese national based in the Czech Republic.
The prizes will be presented by festival director Lucie Němečková alongside the doyenne of African ambassadors in the Czech Republic, the Ambassador of South Africa, H.E. Ms. Moso Ditty Sejosingoe.
The ceremony will be conducted in English and French, with interpretation into Czech.
