We are delighted to reintroduce the LoCA Studio Program. After a year-long absence from our mini-lab program, LoCA will begin the Arts & Curatorial Studio Program that will open on January 15th, 2024.

Kuchikepii (Slang word for “At the Movies”) is a series of film screenings and discursive presentations that takes place over two days every month, where we screen art videos, films and African cinema to artists and students from the colleges around the city and with a few special sessions that are open to other audiences.

Back to Back is a bi-weekly series in which artists, students and cultural practitioners gather for in-depth conversations on specific exhibitions and local artistic practices within Zambia through presentation. Some sessions are dedicated to unpacking theories, texts and traditions in art history while investigating the position of Zambian contemporary art juxtaposed against mainstream Western models.

In the quest to tell our own stories and tell ourselves the stories that build us, we need to write– Cooking A Resistance is a serial publication aimed to be realised once or twice a year to document our activities based on the thematic issues we interrogate and act as a platform for discourse and reflection.

Can an international exhibition be structured based on the perennial animal corridors in our geographical area?

LoCA’s exhibition program is based on the experimentations from our studio program and a few exceptions from our research on Zambian thematics and practices in conversation with those on the African continent and the international art scene.
