Live from the Studio with Nura Ali and Pebofatso Mokoena | Virtual residents | The Worldings Virtual Residency Exchange
Griffin is thrilled to announce an international residency exchange in partnership with the Bag Factory in Johannesburg, South Africa to take place in July / August 2021. This residency opportunity will connect a BC-based Indigenous Canadian artist with a Joahnnahesburg-based artist over the course of an intensive two-month creation period during which the artists will have the opportunity to meet virtually, build a relationship and engage in critical dialogue fostered through scheduled studio visits and discussion sessions.
