BBC Documentary Featuring Seychellois Artists

'Making it as an Artist in Africa'

Totems by Leon Radegonde

The BBC Journalist Jason Dunford from the 'Smart Money' show, recently visited the Seychelles with his film crew to find out what it takes to make it as an artist in the region. The documentary called 'Making it as an Artist in Africa' features three Seychellois Artists; Frances Chang Him, Isham Rath; Leon Radegonde and ANS Chairman Martin Kennedy!

Watch this short film of Jason interviewing the artists and get some wise words from Martin Kennedy - Some of the filming took place at the Eden Art Space Gallery so the work of many other Seychellois artists also features heavily in the background - so If you see any artworks that you are interested in let us know 😉
