📣 Collective Cares: Conversation #003

Friday 3rd July
3:00-3:30pm (Central Africa Time)
Instagram Live /

Join us for the third conversation of Collective Cares. Co-leads Luyando and Naoko will meet Lusaka-based artist Mwaba Chandia . The conversation will activate Naoko’s Studio Visit with Mwaba, exploring Mwaba’s two recent pieces informed by materials from the natural surroundings of the artist, including seedpods and sheaths of trees.

In Collective Cares, we have been trying to create a hybrid - physical and digital - space for conversation, research, and collaboration. Instagram Live is one platform to test and nurture.

You can watch the recordings of previous conversations on YouTube (link in bio).

It will be a welcoming and safe space for conversation and interaction. See you there!

STUDIO VISIT 004: MWABA CHANDIA

4th studio visit of Collective Cares, a peer-led curatorial initiative for contemporary arts in Zambia. Naoko Mabon virtually visited Lusaka-based artist Mwaba Marie Chandia. The conversation focused on Mwaba’s two recent pieces, which were informed by materials from the natural surroundings of the artist, including seedpods and sheaths of trees.

POINTS EXPLORED

As they exchanged, the conversation touched and critically explored:
⚫︎ Relationship with materials beyond authority and control;
⚫︎ Politics of display and representation;
⚫︎ The challenges around traditional crafts.

ABOUT THE SERIES

Studio Visit is a series of reflections to encounters and conversations with artists/practitioners in Zambia, organised by Collective Cares. This is, however, not a series of mere recordings or documentations of visits. Through creating a critical response to the encounters or conversations, the series explores a way of working or thinking together that values relationship over extraction, conversation over interview, and care over capture. Studio Visit is a cultivation of conditions under which thinking can happen, knowledge can be shared, and solidarity can grow.
