Basadi Dibeela (She/Her) creates experiences that connect people with each other in an accessible and engaging manner. As an arts and culture curator, DJ, and freelance arts journalist, her work is centered around arts, innovation, and sustainability.

Drawn as much to villages as much a to cities, Basadi, is interested in an expansive and accessible art landscape that does not only look to-- but seeks to find new expressions and vocabularies outside of cities and metropolitan areas. She is exploring what critical cultural placemaking looks in the context of a village, and the role of the artist, the curator, and the community in shaping what that could look like.

Previously, Basadi had a role leading strategic planning and programme development, while serving on the board of the Kgosi Bathoen II Museum in her home village of Kanye, Botswana. As a social entrepreneur, Basadi started the Loselo Kultur Network, an organization devoted to operating a multi-disciplinary arts and innovation space that encourages critical thinking, ideas exchange, experimentation.

Basadi holds a Masters in Arts Journalism from Syracuse University, and a Bachelor of Arts
in Political Science from the University of Botswana.
