International Association of Art Critics

AICA - the International Association of Art Critics (Association Internationale des Critiques d’Art, AICA) was founded in 1950 to revitalize critical discourse, which suffered under Fascism during World War II. Affiliated with UNESCO AICA was admitted to the rank of non-governmental organization in 1951.

The main objectives of AICA are:

to promote the critical disciplines in the field of visual arts
to ensure their having sound methodological and ethical bases
to protect the ethical and professional interests of art critics by defending the rights of all members equally^[1]
to ensure permanent communication among its members by encouraging international meetings
to facilitate and improve information and international exchanges in the field of visual arts
to contribute to the reciprocal knowledge and closer understanding of differing cultures
to provide collaboration with developing countries^[2]

During the 1973 General Assembly of the organization in SFR Yugoslavia, which took place in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Belgrade and Dubrovnik, art critic Célestin Badibanga from Kinshasa called upon the organization to "move beyond the Eurocentric tendencies in art".^[3]
