Stories of Kalingalinga:

IMPAC 2024 Art Festival

IMPAC 2024 Art Festival Stories of Kalingalinga initiative exhibited during IMPAC 2024 Art Festival in March 2024. The exhibition showed work from eleven photographers produced during the Stories of Kalingalinga workshop from 2019. The exhibition brought together young, and more seasoned photographers and visual artists.

" Stories of Kalingalinga has become a space of collaborative learning and knowledge generation. The workshop is a research environment for the emerging artists, that encourages new, unexpected ways of storytelling and challenges Zambia’s historically fraught relationship with photography.

The collaboration has become a research method in which we not only find out about Kalingalinga, but also about the participants’ relationship with the medium, the References: historical restrictions that still influence the interaction with the camera, the emerging local ethical framework in which they operate and the power of unlearning and relearning visual narratives within the context of Kalingalinga and our own practice "
