Artist Residency Program
The Africa Nomads Art Space Residency Program hosts local and international artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners seeking time and space for creative development, cultural exchange, and community engagement. The residency encourages participants to immerse themselves in the local cultural environment, collaborate with communities, develop new work, and share knowledge through public presentations, workshops, and exhibitions.
Through partnerships such as the Artists at Risk (AR) Residency Program, Africa Nomads Art Space provides temporary safe and supportive environments for artists facing displacement, conflict, or other challenges, enabling them to continue their creative practice while building meaningful connections with local and international audiences.
