THANK YOU TO THE SWISS ARTS COUNCIL AND KMS TRUST, Bots.

The International Workshop brings together artists in a spirit of mutual sharing, amity, experimentation and a willingness to renew, explore and refresh the habits of one's work. Having a common interest in art, we go beyond differences of background, culture and geography to find our common humanity and rediscover the wonder of shared creativity. The group energy takes us beyond ourselves in an atmosphere of intense work and play and we revel in the wonder of creativity.

The International 2001 took place at the Thapong Visual Art Centre, The Village, Gaborone. We called it an "Alternative Thapong" because we could not afford it to be fully residential which would have been the ideal. But still, we made it a wonderful event.

Due to lack of funding, the International Workshop could not take place in 2002. We were, however, able to have our first Residency.
