We would like to ask you to spend a few minutes reading this. It only takes a few minutes and in a easy way you can change the life of a city in Africa by art education. We are a team of 8 with extensive experience in technical and professional education, in the areas of performing arts, dance, image, music, stage techniques, production & lighting, that without any financial support decided to start an art educational project in Cabo Verde to guareente de most basic art´s educational that e...

Africa, Cape Verde, São Vicente, is a island in an archipelago with many limited resources where sympathy, persistence, diversity and culture are the soul of a nation. 

Mindelo, a city where art is rehearsed and learned in public squares and in the artists homes.

We want, through art and culture, to make the dream of a whole city come true.

ALAIM – Freedom Academy of Integrated Arts of Mindelo, is a response to an urgent need resulting from two major gaps:

  • lack of spaces for presentations, rehearsals, artistic expressions classes and performances classes such as dance, music, theater, video art, among others.
  • the absence of an appropriate location for a multifaceted, competent artistic education  and at the same time, that can promotes creativity and development of arts in our city.

 ALAIM, where art takes place. Together, we can value the arts in Cape Verde and in the world.

Our objectives:

  • Use art and education for children, youngest and adults as a social transformation element;
  • Empower artistic personnel in the most different areas like theater, dance, body language, video art and vocal expression;
  • Act as a center of production and experimentation;
  • Be a open space, daring, dynamic and free;
  • Be an interactive space for all kinds of artistic activities;
  • Maximize the presence of international artists with invitations to workshops;
  • Act as a link with other international education systems;
  • Have collaborative and interdisciplinary spirit.

Collaborate with this project and help to transform the life of a community through art!

The first step has been taken. We believed. After a private company also believed and kindly gave us a warehouse. After an arquitechtural company give us the project, a constrution company give us the cement & tiled we need, a web designer give us the site, another one the logo and the global emotional network is working!

Of course this place needs to be totally reformed and able to provide the conditions for an entire artistic community and that´s why we are here talking to you and greatfull if you are reading this until here is because you want to know ALAIM. Thank you.
