The residency welcomes artists, designers, and cultural thinkers seeking time and space to work within Cape Town. It offers a live work environment that supports focus, exchange, and reflection.

The programme is self-directed. Residents shape their own schedules and projects, with support through local networks and dialogue.

Open to emerging and established practitioners working across visual art, design, research, and performance. Priority is given to artists from the African continent and diaspora. International applicants with a clear engagement with this context are welcome.

The residency operates through exchange. Time and space are redeemed through artwork created during the stay. This work becomes part of the evolving archive of the space.

• Dedicated time for research and development.

• Connection to local artists, makers, and cultural workers.

• A public moment such as an open studio, talk, or presentation

Applicants must submit a CV, portfolio, practice overview, and project proposal.
