Guided by an artistic spirit, Doek’s work focuses on the literary arts and seeks to build a locally-adapted, socially responsible, and transparent model for arts funding in Namibia.

While Doek’s primary mandate is supporting the literary arts in Namibia, it also seeks to connect Namibian storytellers with their counterparts on the continent and in the African diaspora.
