Over the past two years, Residency Re-Sourced has brought together eight artist residency spaces across Africa in a sustained process of learning, exchange, and institutional reflection.

As we approach the conclusion of this cycle, we are looking back at some of the ideas, questions, and provocations that emerged from the workshop series-from vision and leadership to funding, care, operations, collaboration, and sustainability.

Over the coming weeks, we will share excerpts from these conversations alongside the spaces and people that have shaped this journey.

8 Residencies. 8 African Cities. 1 Metalogue.
