Afrika Design Day —Botswana 2024

This year, we are excited to be hosted by Botswana on September 22 nd and 23 rd 2024 in Maun,
under the theme Mosalagae, ‘the one who remains, to look after the home’. We will
commemorate ADD Botswana by viewing design through the cultural heritage lens thus
celebrating the role of indigenous knowledge in defining the identity of Botswana’s visual story
and exploring how this knowledge can be used sustainably to inform inclusive problem solving,
without exploiting communities.
