About Us - Kamene Art Residency

Kamene Cultural Practice and Research Space is a dynamic, collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and innovation of African cultural practices. It serves as a creative platform where artists, scholars, and practitioners come together to explore, research, and elevate the diverse cultural expressions of the African continent. Through interdisciplinary projects, workshops, and research initiatives, Kamene aims to not only preserve traditional cultural practices but also adapt them for modern contexts, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of Africa's rich cultural heritage. The space strives to create a global dialogue around African culture, encouraging both local and international collaboration.

At Kamene Cultural Practice and Research Space, we offer a range of programs designed to foster creativity, learning, and cultural exchange. Our Artist in Residency Program provides a nurturing environment for artists to immerse themselves in their creative processes, collaborate with other practitioners, and explore new mediums.

The Art Workshops bring together artists, students, and community members, offering hands-on experiences in various artistic disciplines, from traditional crafts to contemporary art forms.

We also host Film Screenings, showcasing films that highlight African narratives, traditions, and modern cultural themes, sparking meaningful discussions.

Additionally, our Art Library offers an extensive collection of resources on African art, history, and culture, serving as an invaluable resource for researchers, artists, and anyone interested in deepening their knowledge. Through these programs, Kamene aims to inspire, educate, and build a thriving cultural community.
