‎ @60
‎
‎As part of Botswana’s 60th Independence celebrations, we are intentionally launching an Open Call for Artists [Visual Artists] to honor the nation’s remarkable historical journey.
‎
‎K’xao Artscape emphasizes that creativity is a powerful force that preserves identity, inspires innovation, fosters dialogue, and connects communities. As the country reflects on its past and reimagines its future, the organization reaffirms its commitment to uplifting creative voices, nurturing cultural expression, and building inclusive spaces where imagination can thrive.
