I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work addresses recurring issues affecting the human condition, including conflict stemming from divisive identity mechanisms and the unscientific prejudices that surround them. My practice seeks to expand understanding of diaspora, hybridity, and identity, using this exploration to alleviate tensions that result from that division. This conceptual inquiry extends to the founding of the Lusaka Contemporary Art Centre (LuCAC), which I regard not merely as an institution but as my primary artistic medium. LuCAC is a platform-based, living artwork, supplementing as an expanded practice designed to
transcend the inherent limitations of a traditional studio. It serves as a site for the production of knowledge and dialogue, tackling large-scale societal themes while challenging conventional
understandings of art’s purpose. The center’s work is structured around two interconnected pillars: National Development and
Decoloniality. This not only fosters critical dialogue, but foregrounds local narratives, and nurtures a renewed postcolonial identity using art as a portal into exploration of collective
consciousness, making visible the intangible dimensions of culture, memory, and social structure. LuCAC is a living framework for experimentation, collaboration, and cultural renewal. It aims to
promote continued decolonization through formal and informal artistic research, so as to amplify the voices of artists and communities while fostering a culture of accountability and
representation. Operating at the intersection of art, culture, and research, LuCAC transforms abstract notions of civic engagement into tangible practice, acting as a bridge for creativity and society by creating platforms where artists, thinkers, and audiences can engage as equals. Ultimately, my practice, whether in the studio or through the center, proposes that creativity is a vital force for social transformation.
