Message from the Cultural Bazaar Organizing Team:

Thank You for an Unforgettable Cultural Bazaar

What a day. With over 60 artists and creative providers and more than 200 participants, the Cultural Bazaar was an inspiring reminder of the depth, energy, and demand within Namibia’s creative community.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the artists, performers, facilitators, exhibitors, and workshop participants and of course our generous donors, as well as everyone who came by to watch, listen, learn, dance, ask questions, and simply be part of it. The energy, openness, and diversity of expressions made this event truly special.

We are currently in the process of gathering photos and videos from the day. If you captured any moments and are happy to share them, please send your material to
culturalagendanamibia@googlemail.com

We’ll need a few days to get our ducks in a row, but we’re excited to share more very soon. This includes filling up the others sections on this website that will bring together and showcase information about Namibian artists and creative initiatives featured at the Bazaar and beyond.

Thank you for being part of this—more to come.
