MODzi Arts | MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTIST RESIDENCY
“Human life is full of mysteries and the occasional surprise, which man tries to love or understand through the different languages of philosophy. The art of spaces is without a doubt one such philosophical optic through which man attempts to express his unutterable consciousness, feelings about oneself, the cosmos and the world at large” by Henry Tayali
Here in lie some of our interests involving a tremendous sense of seeing and interrogating the progressiveness of art within Lusaaka and within the region. Our space has been fostered by the support of the ANT funding grant by Pro Helvetia Johannesburg financed by the Swiss Agency for development and Cooperation (SDC), with their patronage the space has evolved into a place for multidisciplinary experimenting, cultural knowledge sharing and presentation of works to new audiences. Modzi Arts looks to crystallise a revolution where artists’ provocative questions of interconnection within our cultural spheres, try to dissect obvious assumptions on what purposes art creation serves within society.
This is a self-funded residency for an open duration of 1 to 3 months. The residency takes place in the vibrant city of Lusaka, Zambia and is an opportunity for contemporary, local and international artists to push the boundaries of cross regional artistic practices in the African context. Through our network Modzi Arts provides curatorial support, collaborative opportunities and concept development to those who are looking to expand their work and connect with other creatives.
The residency has a shared living home, with galleries, studios, art collection and Library of books / tools.
