There will also be architecture for the 2018-2019 mentorship program funded by Rolex and Protegé Initiative Arts. Sir David Adjaye is the mentor architect, born in Ghana, known with his study associates for the project of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Adjaye has picked Mariam Kamara as his protegée, a 38-year-old Nigerian architect, specializing in adaptation architectures, who teaches Urban Planning Studies at Brown University.
The other talents involved are a choreographer, a musical composer and a writer: in truth it is a great opportunity. Indian music composer mentor Zakir Hussain has chosen Gilmore Marcus, 31; Canadian choreographer mentor Crystal Pite paired with talented Khoudia Touré, 31; writer mentor Colm Tóibín has chosen Colin Barrett for 35 years. The mentoring period runs from 2018 to 2019, and during the year the working couples are free to organize their time and their appointments as they see fit. Rolex mentorships will change: for the two year period 2019-2020 there will be film, theater, visual arts and other eight arts still to be defined.
