Knight Foundation donations made to Zimbabwe Cultural Centre of Detroit

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

15,000.001--Artshttps://knightfoundation.org/grants/5996-- Grant period: 09/07/2013 - 09/17/2015; part of the challenge: Knight Arts Challenge 2019; goal: To unite artists in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Detroit by transforming two living spaces into cultural consulates To connect artists in Harare, Zimbabwe, and Detroit, local organizers will transform two living spaces in both cities into cultural consulates. There, artists will collaborate — physically, virtually or through exhibits — creating a sense of community. In addition, the Detroit location will have an artist residency for Zimbabweans, where they can work and research. Already the center is planning an exchange at the Public Pool gallery, with exhibits by artists that will include a live collaboration via Skype between DJs in each city. The project celebrates the work of artists in Zimbabwe and Detroit and works to build stronger connections between the art communities.
