MSC created Okavango Art Exchange and runs it. Our Botswana team produced the 2026 edition, with Tumalano Sephatla as Executive Producer, supported by our Austin team and local partners. The artworks belong to their artists.

The exchange includes Visual Epiphany, its residency for Botswana-based artists: 40 participants completed the second programme in 2026.

The group photos show OAE artists, participants and collaborators together, on stage, at the Life Centre in front of Strange Harvest's mural, and on a tour of Nhabe Museum.
