About UNITA →
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.
Doris Sommer
Harvard University
UNITA Advisor for Humanities for development
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
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.

A worldwide network

Through the digital platform Scenography Today, dedicated to the scenic visual arts and technologies, we connect with and engage a community of thousands of creatives from across disciplines and world regions.

The digital platform serves as a repository of knowledge and channel of communication for the program as well as source of collective intelligence. 

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.

Acting in society and the economy

Creative and cultural activities have a broad impact. They produce millions of jobs worldwide, spill over with innovation advancing other sectors, and crete economic ties across the globe. They are a main tool of soft power and of intercultural dialogue. In society they create systems of shared values that generate cohesion and common visions for the future. The active participation in creative practices induces well-being and improves lives by generating a sense of belonging.

 

Where does all this value come from? From the inventiveness, initiative, and life-long investment of time and resources of creative individuals
