Banana Club Artist Fund (BCAF) has unveiled its third annual residency programme in partnership with the Diamond Trading Company Botswana (DTCB).

This transformative initiative aims to empower emerging creative entrepreneurs from underserved communities through mentorship, financial aid, and curatorial support to create new work, challenging societal stereotypes and fostering creative urgency.

Themed "The Audacity of Queer Joy" the 2024 iteration of BCAF invites visual artists across various disciplines to imagine work that celebrates abundance and challenges the notion of needing salvation to live, survive, and breathe authentically.
