After successfully launching in Spring 2020, Guest Projects Digital, the digital artist residency programme borne out of Shonibare Studio’s long-standing physical residency scheme, returned for a second season on 9th August 2021. A collaborative venture with Guests Artists Space Foundation, the 2021 edition was generously supported by the British Council SSA Arts Digital Catalyst Fund.

From 23rd August until 4th September Guest Projects Digital will be spotlighting the work of Ghanaian artist Akwasi Bediako Afrane across both the website and Guest Projects social channels as part of the 2021 programme. 

The second edition of the digital artist residency programme returns with an exciting new cohort of creative practitioners from Africa and its Diaspora.

Following an open call in March 2021 we are excited to finally be able to announce the recipients of the TURN2 Residencies. The fully funded programme provides living and working space and offers research opportunities for curators and cultural practitioners with curatorial experience of the African continent to either go to Berlin, or from Germany to Johannesburg, Lagos or Nairobi.
