As an artist, I firmly believe in the power of co-creation and international collaboration to foster cultural richness and dialogue among people, all while keeping in mind the pursuit of excellence in our work.
The exposure to the rest of the world has great capacity in making greater artists all round. Creation and ideas do not exist in isolation so when artist come together, from different parts of the world, there is a lot of richness in what is being exchanged and created. There is so much power in collaboration!

UNITA Emerging Artist
UNITA supports creatives, the arts, and culture with opportunities and cooperation to achieve a brighter future for all.
We need to share knowledge, join forces, connect and find creative solutions for the way ahead. UNITA can be a facilitator in this process.
The world is going through irreversible changes. In these challenging times, it is imperative to build upon a holistic and humanistic approach. Global vision and local actions are needed to support art, creativity, innovation, education and prosperity.
Edna Dos Santos-Duisenberg
International Strategist and Policy Advisor
UNITA ADVISOR FOR THE GLOBAL CREATIVE ECONOMY
UNITA brokers the links that have been missing until now for artists who are dedicated to social change. It is the platform for collaborations between the arts and institutions that can, together, create sustainable programs.
Artists are often challenged to address practical issues of management and evaluation. On the other hand, public and private institutions dedicated to social development may not yet identify the arts as the vanguard for positive change.
UNITA brings these potential partners together and ignites exciting and sustainable dynamics.

Art can be a powerful tool to bring countries and cultures to better understand each other.
Art managers, and a program like UNITA, have an important role to play in helping make this happen.
