Namibian artist takes up Thapong residency

Asked why he chose to take residency at Thapong, he replied: "I have always wanted to explore the use of different media and share my experiences with other professionals from outside my country and Thapong seemed the best place to visit."

He further says that one of the things that whetted his desire to visit the country was his friendship with a Motswana artist based in Namibia, Kabelo Modise, who always talked about the visual arts in Botswana. His chance came when he saw an advert inviting artists to apply for residency at Thapong in the website of Visual Artists of Namibia Organisation (VAN), of which he is a member.
