On June 29th, 2024, Yebo Art Gallery and Antidote Culture Foundation organized a workshop with 24 Eswatini-based visual artists, including painters, photographers, sculptors,
and mixed media artists, in an effort to determine the current state as well as the future of art in the country. Titled “The Future of Art in Eswatini” the event and workshop sought to identify current challenges and realities for artists and the arts in Eswatini, and establish a community to encourage collaboration on potential solutions and opportunities. Following presentations from Yebo Art Gallery and Yini Loku, the open discussion, Q&A session and survey filled by participants, a report has been produced that encompasses survey feedback, career development needs, economic prospects for artists and the role of local creative organisations, among other topics. A PDF of the report can be read and downloaded below.
