Bag Factory Artists’ Studios calls out to emerging artists for international fellowships

With a focus on exchange of ideas and innovation, Bag Factory hosts resident artists’ studios and develops a programme of international residencies, exhibitions, specialist skills workshops and audience outreach activities and events. The independent and non-profit organisation currently has two international residency opportunities for an emerging artist and a curator based in Uganda, Zimbabwe or Zambia to undertake a fully funded residency at their studios in Joburg. ⠀⠀

The residencies are part of a programme supported by KfW Stiftung in collaboration with Triangle Network, aiming to stimulate exchanges within the Southern Africa region where a number of the Triangle Network partners are located and have contributed to the development of a local art scene. The residencies will offer the selected candidates an opportunity for professional development, research and production of new work in a dynamic context that promotes dialogue, experimentation and innovation in the visual arts.

Interested artists are encouraged to apply by 16 June.
