Greetings,

I am proud to present the Office of Cultural Affairs Annual Report. There’s no question that art stands as a vital component of the health of any great city.

As Mayor, I am proud of the accomplishments of the Office of Cultural Affairs over the past year.

This past fall, we launched power2give.org, an online fundraising tool which makes it easy for every citizen to support art programs and initiatives and doubles the impact of each dollar raised through matching funds. In addition, we granted over $700,000 to local artists and arts organizations through our Contracts for Arts Services program. We provided cultural experiences for our youth through the Cultural Experience Project and our ARTSCooL program for teens was recognized by President Barack Obama’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities as an exceptional youth program.

The arts are an integral part of Atlanta’s cultural fabric. Our city remains a world-class city because of the many contributions of art patrons, leaders, businesses and organizations, and artists that keep our community moving forward. These combined efforts are what make Atlanta an inspiring place to live, work and visit.

Sincerely,kasim reed, Mayor

message from the mayor

There is no question that the leading cities of the world invest significantly in arts and culture, and Atlanta is no different. Public art, art programs, theaters, galleries and other artistic venues stand as a vital component to the health of our city. They draw business and enterprise, as well as new visitors. Most importantly, they contribute to the positive development of our children. With a mission to promote rich and diverse cultural experiences in the City of Atlanta, while preserving and protecting the city’s cultural heritage, the Office of Cultural Affairs has committed resources to improving art initiatives

for residents, families, and visitors alike.

Under the leadership of Mayor Kasim Reed, the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs was able to reopen all 33 of the city’s recreation centers and began to transform them into Centers of Hope, which serve as safe-havens of learning and Arts In Education. Through the Public Art Program, Parks and Recreation facilities around the city received new works of art from local and national artists, as well as international artists like Yvonne Demenge, who designed the artworks – Tree of Life and Kan -- recently unveiled at Freedom Park. Through collaboration with the city’s Department of Public Works, the Cascade community received a working sundial by artist Ayokunle Odeleye as part of the Streetscape Improvement project. Thomasville Community Center, Hardy Ivy Park, Riverside Community Fire Station and downtown’s South Broad Street district are all sites of new artworks that are changing the landscape of this great city.

We also continue to encourage arts as a valuable element of educational development. Cultural Experience Project, in partnership with Atlanta Public Schools and Culture Club, provides programming at our recreational facilities that introduces children to the world of art and music. The 36th Annual Jazz Festival once again drew crowds of music lovers from all over the world, and our Cyclorama and Civil War Museum continues its four-year long national commemoration of the American Civil War. This year, the Office of Cultural Affairs will transition from the Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs to the Mayor’s Office. The move will increase the Office’s profile and ability to impact arts and culture throughout the City, and it will not impact our commitment to integrating arts and culture into our public spaces and programs. We will maintain our strong partnership to provide residents exceptional spaces and memorable experiences.

Thanks to Mayor Reed, the Atlanta City Council and local community partners, we have had an outstanding year in arts and culture.

Sincerely,George A. Dusenbury, commissionerDepartment of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs

2013 was a benchmark year for the Office of Cultural Affairs. Cultural Experience Project reached a milestone of 250,000 student admissions to cultural venues around the city. We successfully installed four new pieces of public art including one piece acquired through a partnership with Chicago’s Millennium Park. ARTSCooL was recognized by the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities as an exceptional youth program and the 36th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival presented Generation Next, a celebration of young jazz talent from Atlanta and around the world.

The Mayor’s office generously increased funding for the arts by $530,000 in FY 2013. With those funds we were able to launch power2give.org, a crowdsourced funding platform which enables organizations to raise funds for specific projects through a dedicated website. Through power2give.org, we were able to leverage the increase in funding by matching, dollar for dollar, the donations our arts organizations raised through this website. power2give.org galvanized the community around the arts, where every dollar was doubled and the impact was immediate.

As we move into the new fiscal year, we are excited to build upon our successes in service of our mission to promote rich and diverse cultural experiences. As you read through our annual report, you will see our many programs and initiatives that serve several constituencies:

• Youth • Educators • Artists • Arts Organizations • Tourists • Citizens

In FY 2014 we expect to expand our capabilities to provide additional support to Atlanta’s business community as well as agencies throughout the city administration. The Office of Cultural Affairs will transition to the Mayor’s Office where we will be able to increase the value of arts and culture to support the cultural economic development of Atlanta’s in a time of significant growth. Thanks to the hard work of our staff, the support of our Mayor and the generous contributions of our many supporters, we are honored to be a champion for the value of arts and culture in Atlanta’s communities.

Yours in Art & Culture,Camille Russell Love, Director, Office of Cultural Affairs

The City of Atlanta Office of Cultural Affairs “(OCA)” supports Atlanta’s vibrant cultural landscape, where citizens and visitors explore the rich heritage of our city and experience a diverse presentation of artistic expression. A vigorous cultural ecosystem enhances the quality of life for our citizens, attracts visitors and top talent from around the world and contributes to Atlanta’s identity as the cultural hub of the south.

The OCA is committed to supporting the growth of our arts industry by aggressively pursuing expanded funding platforms for arts organizations, providing opportunities for artists to showcase their talents and inspiring creative innovation through the presentation of works by artists from throughout the country and the world.Equally important to Atlanta’s cultural vitality is cultivating an enthusiastic audience community. Cultural exposure for our youth, art in public spaces and the musical tradition of the Atlanta Jazz Festival, fuel interest in the arts and plant the seeds of patronage.

Key cultural development areas for OCA include:

arts in education

Art is recognized as an essential part of our youth’s educational experience. The OCA Arts in Education division works in concert with Atlanta Public Schools, the Office of Recreation, local artists and arts venues to provide a range of options for youth of all ages to connect with the arts.

cultural experience project is a comprehensive approach to ensuring that every child in the Atlanta Public Schools System has a cultural experience every year of their education. OCA coordinates with the Atlanta Public Schools Department of Fine Arts to provide opportunities for students who might not otherwise experience the wealth of Atlanta’s cultural assets. Cultural Experience Project matches each grade level with a curriculum relevant performance or exhibition presented at a local arts or cultural venue.

Sponsor corporations and partner organizations contribute to cover the cost of transportation and admissions so that these experiences are free of charge to students.

Each experience aims to reinforce classroom learning as well as provide a benchmark arts activity that will shape students’ future relationship with the arts and creative industries. Long term benefits of Cultural Experience Project include future audience development and improved test scores. Cultural

Experience Project also promotes students aspirations to higher education by attending cultural venues located on four different area college campuses -- Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, and Oglethorpe University.

arTscool and arTscool collegiate is a unique summer employment program which trains Atlanta teens ages 14-18 in various forms of art and media while providing practical workplace experience.

Over the course of 8-weeks ARTSCooL students work as paid apprentices under the guidance of professional artists in dance, film, theater, visual arts and design. Within each ARTSCooL studio the apprentices work in groups of six led by a professional mentor artist. During studio time the apprentices participate in arts activities that enable them to learn about the history and context of their focus medium and apply the techniques learned to create original works of art. ARTSCooL concludes each year with a professional-scale exhibition showcasing the students’ work. The closing event gives students the experience of presenting their work in a professional manner comparable to cultural events attended during the program.

All ARTSCooL students complete an initial interview for acceptance into the program where they are evaluated on their application, interview, and quality of their work samples. In addition to developing soft skills for success, ARTSCooL teaches students how to set academic and personal goals. Students work with mentors to discuss their goals in order to plot a path for success.

culture club partners with local arts organizations to bring cultural enrichment programs to recreation centers during the school year as part of the citywide after school program as well as in the summer as part of the Office of Recreation Camp Best Friends. Through Culture Club programming, elementary school students participate in hands on artistic instruction presented at three Atlanta recreation centers:

n THE GILBERT HOuSE

n JD SIMS CENTER

n SOuTH BEnD CEnTER FOR ART AnD CULTURE

Culture Club’s partner organizations present instruction in dance, music, and theater. In addition to regular program activities, Culture Club students participate in special programs with visiting artists from Broadway touring companies and international artist exchange programs. Through Culture Club,

Page 11: AtlAntA office of culturAl AffAirs

students, and their families, are exposed to a variety of unique cultural experiences including student recitals, master classes, and complimentary admission to stage plays.

arts funding

Hundreds of artists and artistic organizations contribute to the rich and diverse landscape of arts that makes Atlanta an attractive place to live and visit. OCA endeavors to bolster creative innovation by providing funding that will be used to sustain valuable cultural programs and facilitate a thriving community.

Mayor Reed doubled arts grant funding for the Office of Cultural Affairs 2013 operating budget, making more funds available to support local artists and arts organizations. As such, the Office of Cultural Affairs maximized the Mayor’s initiative by allocating a portion of the increase to launch power2give.org, an innovative arts funding platform which effectively doubled the allocation.

contracts for arts services is the primary vehicle through which the office provides funding to artists and arts organizations. The Contracts for Arts Services (CAS) program awards contracts related to the production, creation, presentation, exhibition and operational support of artistic cultural services in the City of Atlanta. Annually, the CAS program reviews submissions from dozens of organizations and makes awards in several categories:

n MAJOR ARTS ORGANIzATIONS

n MID-SIzED ARTS ORGANIzATIONS

n COMMUNITY ORGANIzATIONS

n INDIvIDUAL ARTIST PROJECTS

n EMERGING ARTISTS AWARD

In total, CAS granted $740,450 to 61 artists and arts organizations.

power2give.org, launched in September 2013, takes advantage of the popular crowdsourced funding model for raising funds and puts it to use for Atlanta arts. Power2give.org is an online portal where donors can contribute as little as $5 directly to their favorite arts organization. Miami, Houston, Charlotte and several cities in North Carolina have already realized the impact of power2give.org, not only increasing opportunities for local artists, but also stimulating citizens to get involved and directly influence the cultural face of their cities.

Developed in partnership with the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Atlanta’s portal matches funds raised through the site dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000 per project. Arts organizations have found power2give.org to be a useful tool to produce small projects or supplemental programs that need additional funding. It is also a valuable way to maximize donor dollars, by doubling contributed campaign income. In its first year, power2give.org contributed nearly $400,000 dollars for 90 different art projects.

The Public Art Program provides curatorial and project management for the acquisition, care and programming of public art in Atlanta. Each year, PAP works to identify

Page 12: AtlAntA office of culturAl AffAirs

PAGE 11

opportunities to expand Atlanta’s public art collection and provide unique experiences with public art for the entire community. PAP presents art from local, national and international artists in public spaces where citizens and visitors live, work and play. The objective is to enhance the quality of life for our residents and visitors by contributing to the vibrancy of Atlanta’s urban environment.

percent for art provides valuable funding support for acquisition of new works. In fiscal year 2013, PAP added four new artworks to Atlanta’s Public Art collection. Working with the departments of Public Works, Fire and Rescue and Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs, PAP utilized the City of Atlanta’s Percent for Art Program to develop new pieces for the growing public art collection.

elevate programmed through PAP’s Outreach Division, executed its second successful year, focusing on three key areas:

n EnHAnCInG THE BuILT EnvIROnMEnT

n BuILDInG A SEnSE OF COMMunITy

n SUPPORTING SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE ARTS

The Elevate Program featured an array of contemporary public art projects in Downtown Atlanta for fiscal year 2013. Projects presented generated increased excitement as Elevate 2012 focused on the South Broad Street area of downtown. At the close of Elevate 2012, South Broad Street featured six new murals and embraced one of the program’s key objectives – building a sense of community. Since Elevate, the South Broad Street area has seen a marked increase in business and development interest. In addition to the projects on South Broad Street, PAP featured local, regional, national and international artists in an exciting presentation of visual and performing art throughout central downtown Atlanta.

Through Elevate, the conversation on the potential of Atlanta’s central urban environment to grow with art as a

catalyst is advancing in a contemporary way.

collections management continued to care for the vast collection of publically owned and displayed works of art in Atlanta’s collection. Recognizing the importance of the collection to the cultural and economic well-being of the community, Collections Management cleaned and maintenance over 50 artworks with the remainder

Page 13: AtlAntA office of culturAl AffAirs

PAGE 12

assessed for future maintenance. In addition, Collections Management worked with community partners to respond to 2 more serious conservation needs. Collectively PAP maintains over 136 works of art installed in various locations throughout the city impressed by the improved landscape.

The art on loan program maintains 236 portable artworks which are rotated and displayed in municipal buildings and offices. In fiscal year 2013, the Art on Loan program displayed art by local artists throughout city government offices, in support of the objective to enrich the work environment for municipal employees and visitors doing business in city government. PAP also aims to specifically support Atlanta based artists through the Art on Loan Program

art Tours organized by PAP were made available to residents and visitors in downtown Atlanta during the spring, summer and fall months of fiscal year 2013. Art tours guided participants through Atlanta neighborhoods introducing them to many of the pieces in the city’s collection. Tours were presented by Public Art staff and on occasion in collaboration with local partner organizations. Public Art Audio Tours are a regular program which also allows the public to take self-guided tours of the public art collection. Information presented through a phone access number placed on signs at each site provide a voice guided history of 22 unique artworks in the central downtown area. On average, 240 new users took advantage of the audio tour program each month in fiscal year 2013.

The Public Art Program’s management of the city’s public art collection currently valued at over $22,000,000, its presentation of world class artists and support of local and regional artists makes Atlanta Public Art Program an integral part of the Office of Cultural Affairs support for the growth of Atlanta’s arts economy, artists and audience.

atLanta JaZZ festiVaL

2013 marked 36 years for the Atlanta Jazz Festival. Since 1978, Atlanta has played host to luminary musicians, including Miles Davis, Dizzie Gillespie, Nina Simone and Ray Charles. In 2013 Atlanta Jazz Festival presented Generation Next, the future of the culture in artists like Jose James, Tia Fuller and Gretchen Parlato. The festival’s tremendous popularity is evidenced by its longevity as a gathering place for music lovers of all kinds.

Atlanta Jazz Festival is known for bringing the best and brightest in contemporary and traditional jazz to Atlanta from all over the world. Two stages provided a musical variety appealing to Atlanta’s diverse population. The International stage presented artists from Cuba, Israel and India to name a few.

The AJF team works with our partners to create unique engagements that make this event more than a grand outdoor concert. For the entire month of May, events throughout the city signal the coming of the jazz festival. Neighborhood Jazz Series, youth Jazz Band Competition, and 31 Days of Jazz are just some of the events that reach citizens in all corners of the city.

A significant goal of ARTSCooL is to prepare students

for successful employment. ARTSCooL is executed

through a partnership with Atlanta Public Schools, the

Mayor’s Youth Program, and additional funding support

provided by the Atlanta Workforce Development

Agency (AWDA). The Mayor’s Youth Program helps

students by providing hands-on assistance in planning

for life after high school. Through this collaboration, we

are able to attract a diverse pool of students; provide

students with a quality experience; and compensate

students to keep them motivated.

A high expectation of our students prepares them to be comfortable and confident in a professional environment and also rewards them for good performance. Students learn basic professional etiquette including:

n APPEARANCE; ADHERING TO A PROFESSIONAL CODE OF DRESS

n DECORUM; RESPECT FOR COLLEAGUES AND MANAGEMENT

n PUNCTUALITY AND TIMELINESS

n PREPARATION; HAvING ALL OF THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO

Culture Club serves Atlanta youth throughout the school year as part of the after school program. During the summer Culture Club partners with Camp Best Friends to offer a summer full of arts enrichment including visual and performance art activities.

During the Fiscal Year 2013, the Culture

Club - An After-School Experience, provided

opportunities for youth to participate in

cultural and educational activities offered

by local professionals that contributed

to the growth and achievement of each

individual.

2013 CUlTUrE ClUb parTNErsaTlaNTa mUsIC prOjECTfounded in 2010, the atlanta music project provides intense music education for underserved youth right in their neighborhood. with a mission to inspire social change by providing atlanta’s underserved youth the opportunity to learn and perform music in youth orchestra and choirs, amp is proud to have a partner in the City of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs.

AMP students at the Office of Cultural Affairs’ Gilbert House and south bend center receive two hours of music instruction five days per week. AMP provides the instruments, teaching artists, classes and performance opportunities. instruments taught include the violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, and trombone. amp students have performed at Atlanta City Hall, the Woodruff Arts Center and philips arena. Through amp’s partnership with culture club, many children are provided with this introduction to music they may not have had otherwise

daNCE CaNvasDance Canvas is a non-profit organization dedicated to introducing the community to professional dance. One of the focus areas for dance canvas is youth development, outreach, and exposure. Through the City of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Dance Canvas has been able to design programs to reach the youngest atlanta residents and inspire them to dance. Since 2010, Dance Canvas has worked with OCA’s culture club initiative, providing daily dance instruction in ballet, modern, jazz and tap to atlanta area youth, who have never had the opportunity to take dance classes. The program also provides “master classes” with professional dancers and dance companies touring to atlanta, allowing the culture club students to receive world-class dance opportunities, by the leading professionals in the country.

in 2012-2013, the culture club students had two surprise visits from hip hop companies: rennie harris r.h.a.w. (philadelphia, pa) and pierre rigal compangie de danse (Toulouse, fr). The students and their parents were invited to the fox Theater to see the national tour of fela, followed by a tap master class with fela principal dancer, gelan lambert. for many of the Culture Club families, the FELA field trip was the 1st time they had ever been to the theater to see a professional show.

dance canvas’ students return over the years with increased interest and enthusiasm for dance and the arts. Through our classes, we teach the students that dance is a profession, and that live performances need audience support. We know that through exposure, through culture club, our students have a better understanding and appreciation for dance. by giving them opportunities to experience live professional dance, students and their families have the desire to return to see future performances. Through Oca’s culture club program, dance canvas continues to inspire the next generation of dance patrons and new additions to atlanta’s creative workforce.

EmErGING arTIsT CHarlOTTE “CHarlIE” waTTsatlanta photographer charlie watts wasn’t thinking about joining a movement when she stumbled upon a disturbing image over a year ago. watts describes the image this way: “it was a picture of a man carrying a woman over his shoulder in a plastic bag. although her face is hidden, she is obviously nude with bruises covering her slender frame…nothing was recognizable about the man other than his intimidating size. This image has haunted me since, and strangely, though I search, I have been unable to find the photograph again.” it was seeing the image – along with a documentary on sex trafficking – that motivated Watts to take action. she decided to use her photography as a vehicle for positive social change and awareness about local victims of sex trafficking.

watts’ project, The Throwaways, culminated in a gallery exhibition and website featuring composite images meant to evoke unsettling feelings. The images, taken from watts’ own photographs, computer screenshots from documentaries, online criminal records and adult solicitation websites, are meant to uncover these hidden stories. layered within each piece are images of those involved with the many aspects of this tragic practice. watts hopes that The Throwaways will draw attention and catalyze action to save atlanta’s young girls. Oca selected this project for funding not only for its artistic merit, but also its ability to spark community dialogue and inspire change. visit www.thethrowawaysproject.com to learn more.

COLLECTIONS MANAGEMENT

Collections management works to maintain, restore and conserve the 126 works of art in

public spaces around the city. In fiscal year 2013, the Public Art Program partnered with

civic groups and partner agencies to restore sites and better maintain artwork.

MAInTenAnce

Through the Conservation and Maintenance Program, Public Art coordinated with the Department of Parks to support proper care of public art in parks. Maintenance crews were trained to clean artworks and mitigate damage to works in the course of regular park maintenance.

ReSToRATIon

Ralph David Abernathy Square is the site of a major 1996 Olympic era art installation by esteemed artist Emma Amos. The art installation entitled “We Will Not Forget” was dedicated to civil rights powerhouse Ralph David Abernathy. The site contains numerous bronze and tile mosaic structures that span over a ½ acre site in Mechanicsville. The restoration was supported by the Community Foundation and required over $18,000 of renovations which took place over a four-month period.

conSeRVATIon

Collections Management worked to conserve the historic Talbot monument at Grant Park which depicts the founder of the Machinist Union and was restored through PAP’s Adopt an Artwork Program. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers adopted the piece and funded its conservation in celebration of the 125th anniversary of organized labor originating in Atlanta, Georgia.

ELEVATEElevate engaged 12 artists and 3 arts organizations from Atlanta, France, California and

Minnesota to come together and change the landscape of downtown Atlanta. Running from

October 19-27, 2012, Elevate presented an exhibition of contemporary visual artworks and

performances that showcased little noticed neighborhoods and landmarks. By changing

the landscape and attracting visitors, Elevate provided a new experience of the downtown

environment.

SAVeIToR PAVeIT ADRIAn BARZAGA, ATLAnTA

Adrian Barzaga proposed an ambitious remedy to a visual eyesore in what used to be known as the “Heart of Atlanta”: a 60’x180’ Mural at 143 Alabama Street. The five-story building sat vacant since 1972 when Georgia power left and relocated its headquarters. Barzaga's mural, which took 3 days to complete, changed the appearance of the abandoned building from blight to a 3-dimensional graphic art piece.

South Broad Street is an architectural jewel of downtown Atlanta. For Elevate 2012, five murals ranging from 30 to 50 feet wrapped the façades of seven buildings on South Broad Street. The South Broad Mural Project culminated in a street festival at the presentation of the finished works. The South Broad Mural Project received rave reviews and was recognized by the Public Art network of Americans for the Arts as one of the nation’s fifty best public art projects.

Wonderroot, the Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia and the Bernard A. zuckerman Museum of Art collaborated to present a grand Elevate performance event which examined the intrinsic and economic value of art. 200 Peachtree Street was the site of a mock art auction in which performers competitively bid on artworks using imaginary money. 200 Peachtree is the former site of Macy’s department store which was an anchor retail outlet for downtown Atlanta. From 1891, when the store was originally built as a Davison’s, until 2003 when Macy’s closed its doors, 200 Peachtree has been a cultural landmark.

BAnho De LUZ LILLIAn BLADES, ATLAnTA, GA; ROnI nICOLE HEnDERSOn, ATLAnTA, GA; LINDA COSTA, ATLANTA, GA

Three local artists collaborated for an event based production at Carnegie Education Pavilion in Downtown’s Hardy Ivy Park, where Peachtree Street intersects with Baker Street. The pavilion, designed by architect Henri Jova, was constructed in 1996 based on the exterior facade of the Carnegie Library. It is a monument to higher education in Atlanta, with the seals of nine local area colleges and universities embedded in the floor of the edifice. Blades, Henderson and Costa, recognized artists in their own right, collaborated to incorporate their mediums of sculpture, digital, performance and photography into a performance piece held on two separate days during Elevate.

Constructed in 1995, the Peace Fountain in Woodruff Park commemorates Atlanta’s role in the Civil Rights movement. Located at the intersection of Auburn Avenue and Park Place, the fountain also serves as the gateway to the historic King Memorial and Sweet Auburn Districts. For Elevate 2012, artist Randy Walker applied hundreds of acrylic fiber straps in five bright colors over the fountain’s back wall. The effect was a seamless rainbow interspersed with the fountain's flowing water.

PROGRAMSyouth JaZZ Band comPetitionThe Atlanta Jazz Festival’s youth Jazz Band Competitions celebrated a decade this year. Since 2001, the Atlanta Jazz Festival has presented the AJF youth Jazz Band Competition.

Developed to deepen the Festival’s commitment to community and Atlanta’s youth, the youth Jazz Band Competition offers young jazz musicians from all over the metropolitan area the opportunity to showcase their talent. The competition focuses on artistic and technical merits and features an outstanding judging panel. A special thanks to our adjudicators – trumpeters Melvin Jones and Mace Hibbard and jazz disc jockey Phil Clore; and our master of ceremonies, Carl Anthony.

Three winners were selected – winning an opportunity to perform as the openers each day at the Festival on the main stage. This year, our winner was the Benjamin E. Mays High School Jazz Orchestra; second place winners were the north Atlanta Center for the Arts Jazz Band and in third place Stephenson. Each school won a coveted spot to perform on the Mainstage at the festival and a scholarship. Scholarships for this year’s competition have been made possible by Bank of America Foundation.

Most of the photographs in this collection were taken in port visited by the artist while conducting field research on African retentions, rediscoveries and re-inventions to inform his art practice as well as scholarly research. The port cities include Portobelo and Bocas del Toro, Panama; Salvador and Arembepe, Bahia, Brazil; Cape Town, South Africa; Gorée, Senegal; Alexandria, Egypt and Havana, Cuba.
