A few words about your artistic career
I am a creative entrepreneur, writer, director, advertising designer and producer. I am a Nipkow Fellow and an alumnus of Maisha Film Lab, Berlinale Talents, Durban Talents, Cinemart Rotterdam Lab. I have received awards from the Sundance Institute and Durban Filmmart. In 2018, I was Odyssee artist in residence at Saint Jean d'Angeley in France.
How long have you been an artist?
I've been an artist since 2008.
Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?
This grant will enable me to pay part of my living expenses so that I can concentrate on writing a children's picture book, as well as paying an editor and the artist who will do the illustrations and the designer who will lay out the final e-book.
What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?
I will be publishing an illustrated children's book myself. This is the first in the "Keerabow's Misadventures" series of books, which is also the basis of a multimedia franchise that includes books, animated series, toys, T-shirts, etc.
