The Program
Indibano Art Residency is a Dallas-based program dedicated to supporting contemporary African artists through immersive creative exchange.
The residency provides studio space, mentorship, and professional development while connecting artists with the Dallas arts community. The word "Indibano" translates to "a meeting place" in Northern Ndebele/Zulu.
Residents develop new work, expand their professional networks, and participate in exhibitions that foster dialogue between African artistic practices and broader cultural audiences. Established by Bukekile Dube and Buhle Dube, the program serves as a platform to revolutionize the Dallas art scene through cultural and knowledge exchange.
