#colabnownow

In October 2018, nine selected digital artists met in Maputo, Mozambique.

This was part of ColabNowNow, a partnership between Maputo Fast Forward & British Council, connecting the creative communities of Sub-Saharan Africa and the UK.

The project inspired collaboration between artists from East Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, and the UK.

Over ten days, the nine artists brought their work - representing the best in African and UK digital practice today - to Maputo where they collaborated to create the projects.

To highlight the incredible works made during last year’s #ColabNowNow residency, we’ve put the spotlight on the 9 participants on our Instagram page this week. 

The 9 digital creatives from sub-Saharan Africa and the UK spent a week collaborating with each other at Maputo Fast Forward in October 2018.

Entries for this year’s #ColabNowNow residency at Maputo Fast Forward were brilliant, imaginative and creative. Thank you to everyone who applied the decision was not easy!
