March 31st - April 1st
The Center for Arts, Migration, and Entrepreneurship (CAME) is excited to invite you to participate in its first Conference: African Entrepreneurship, The Arts, and Beyond. Organized by a fantastic group of faculty and administrators, this year’s conference brings UF faculty and other experts from around the world together to connect, present, and discuss their research.
Our conference focuses on engaging scholars, artists, and creative entrepreneurs in conversations that redefine and formulate new knowledge around the paths and forms at the intersection of artistic and creative production, migration, and entrepreneurship.
We believe that the comprehensive disciplines and genre-bending work represented in our faculty are foundational to CAME’s mission of building interdisciplinarity across networks. With a continued vision of creating new organizing structures, connecting local and global communities, bridging the gaps between community and academics, we are ultimately delivering on the promise of the arts as a multidimensional tool to craft more equitable futures.
The momentum that is building for this event will lead to the committed goal of delivering a peer-reviewed ebook by next academic year. We are creating a space to negotiate and integrate what is next for our fields and the center. We are calling out to you for your attendance and participation in this process, as together we are creating the future. We look forward to seeing you at the Conference!!
