What happens when two artists enter a living forest with no predetermined plan, no fixed outcomes, and a shared commitment to paying attention?

In October 2025, fibre artist Annette Holtkamp and OCA Fine Art graduate Karen Stander spent two weeks at the Bodhi Khaya Artist Residency in the Western Cape of South Africa—an ecologically and culturally significant landscape of old-growth forest, fynbos, and regenerating land.

Join us if you are based somewhere across Europe (excluding UK - please visit UK-specific groups).

Multi-disciplinary group of more than 100 students based across Europe. Wide range of monthly events: talks, a year-long exhibition group process with workshops around curating, social media presence and collaboration, feedback review sessions. On the first Wednesday each month, 7.30pm CET we have a Cafe for informal discussions. We use this space also as a crit corner, and students are encouraged to share work and ideas around making.
