South African Cultural Observatory Details
The South African Cultural Observatory is the Department of Art's & Culture's national research centre hosted by Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in partnership with Rhodes University and the University of Fort Hare. In terms of Mzansi Golden Economy strategy the Cultural Observatory is the informative ‘nerve centre' that will provide not only the strategic vision, but also the organizing principle to develop cultural indicators appropriate to the South African context and collection of statistics based on the sector needs. The Observatory examines the nature, trends and impact of the cultural and creative industries in South Africa. Informed initially by the UNESCO framework for Cultural Statistics, the SA Cultural Observatory aims to stimulate debate and enhance the exchange of knowledge in the sector through publications and reports, workshops, seminars, and, conferences coupled with high impact industry research outputs. In essence the SA Cultural Observatory: - develops and supports the collection and analysis of data; - influences policy; - shares insight; and - builds on the intellectual capacity gained across the arts, culture and heritage sector. It works across the breadth of all cultural domains, including the arts, heritage, tourism, museums, libraries, archives and creative industries. It will also support information networks through collaborative research projects. The evidence and data collected and analysed will assist in assessing where the competitiveness, job creating and income generating potential of the creative industries lies.
