Tashkeel is happy to be partnering with Art Dubai’s 2020 edition of Residents. Coming from Nigeria, Zimbabwe and Kenya, the invited Residents artists will spend 4 to 8 weeks immersing themselves in the life and culture of the Emirates and the local art scene to create new artworks for sale at the fair which merge their distinct artistic practice with their surroundings.

The 2020 edition of Residents will be accompanied by a range of public events and open studios, hosted by the residency spaces, giving the public an opportunity to interact with the artists and follow the production of their works up until their presentation at Art Dubai 2020. The programme will conclude with a round-table discussion, including representatives from each of the residency spaces as well as the artists.

Curated by Johannesburg-based Kabelo Malatsie, Residents returns in 2020 for its third iteration with a focus on the African continent.

Art Dubai Residents is supported by the A.R.M Holding and Tashkeel and is accompanied by a range of public events and open studios, hosted by the residency spaces, giving the public an opportunity to interact with the artists and follow the production of their works up until their presentation at Art Dubai 2020.
