Cross Okavango Delta Expedition to inspire local artists

This year, the expedition would travel with various artists (musicians, poet, painter, photographers) in order to inspire them to create artworks based on their delta crossing experience.

The artworks would form part of the celebratory artworks by Batswana on the country’s 50th independence celebrations to be presented at an Okavango Delta Art Exhibition event organised by Botswana Tourism Organisation (BTO) in September. “As BTO we are happy to be associated with the Cross Okavango Delta Expedition now in it’s second year. This expedition provides a good platform to promote the Okavango Delta, which has recently been listed as a World Heritage Site.  The expedition will certainly provide an opportunity for the world to appreciate it even more with the envisaged song and art productions that are part of the expedition.  This is part of the continuation of BTO’s  “Explore Your Campaign, which we believe resonates with the golden jubilee celebrations,” BTO public relations and communications manager, Keitumetse Setlang said.
