Last Saturday, we opened Kalinosi Mutale’s first solo in 20 years, “The Newsroom”, curated by Sana Ginwalla with writing by Gankhanani Moyo.

Kalinosi Mutale (b. 1972, Kasama, Zambia) is renowned for his creation of an abstract language called “Kalidraw”. These works on paper and fabric accompany collage works in the exhibition as we explore language and meaning-making in the context of news. Kalinosi Mutale is a Rijksakademie alumni, and “Kalidraw” has travelled from Lusaka and Livingstone to Paris, Brazil, Poland and most recently, India. His work as a conceptual artist in Zambia is celebrated in this solo exhibition, with drawings and writings that spill onto the walls of the Everyday Lusaka Gallery.

In case you missed it, the exhibition is open till Friday 9th May.

We are open Tuesday to Friday 9-17hrs, Saturdays 10-16hrs

Join us in “The Newsroom” next Saturday at Eve

Join us in “The Newsroom” next Saturday at Everyday Lusaka Gallery for Kalinosi Mutale’s solo exhibition curated by Sana Ginwalla.

In a world overwhelmed by news, Kalinosi Mutale’s abstract works on paper, collage, and fabric prompt us to rethink how we perceive and interpret the stories we consume. By blending personal worldviews with his artistic vision, he reminds us that reality is never one-dimensional.

“The Newsroom” delves into pressing issues such as the Congo and Palestine conflicts, Zambia’s drought, and societal challenges. It explores the role of the civilian and the newsgatherer, asking: What is news? By whom? For whom? The exhibition encourages us to confront our own biases and acknowledge that our understanding is always partial. More than just an art show, “The Newsroom” is critical reflection on how we interpret the world around us, an invitation to participate in the ongoing transaction of meaning.

We are especially honoured to share that the exhibition text will be written by Gankhanani Moyo, Zambia’s UNESCO-recognised international expert and trainer on intangible cultural heritage.

The SA*DC Biennale, hypothesized by Raul Jorge Gou

The SA*DC Biennale, hypothesized by Raul Jorge Gourgel and Rory Tsapayi, is a provocative satire and conceptual retort to both the traditional biennial format and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Through ‘national pavilions,’ the Biennale deconstructs nationalistic ideologies, borders, and state logic, challenging traditional representations of regional identity. The inaugural edition, Towards a Common Relic, critiques the history of the Venice Biennale and the SADC’s postcolonial framework, proposing a vision for regional development that transcends colonial legacies. It reimagines cultural expression beyond borders, inviting new ways of thinking about commonality, difference, and the future of the region. 
The Zambian Pavilion, entitled “The Cairo Chapel” curated by Sana Ginwalla of Everyday Lusaka, explores Zambia’s role in Southern African liberation movements. Drawing from key sites in Lusaka, the project reimagines monuments and historical landmarks in Lusaka, blending memory, cultural archives, and speculative narratives with work from Zambia Belonging, Tikwiza Theatre, Kalinosi Mutale, Lawrence Chikwa and Daudi M. Yves. The pavilion reflects on Zambia’s post-colonial identity, engaging with the legacies of nationalism, religion, and capital. The chapel serves as a space for contemplation, inviting viewers to reconsider the intersections of history, art, and political power in shaping the region’s future.

The inaugural SAD*C Biennale features national pavilions by:  Hélio Buite + Henrique J. Paris | TBP Collective (Legakwana Leo Makgekgenene, Kim Karabo Makin, Thebe Phetogo, Thero Makepe, Rrangwane) | Pacifique Kihanguila (Bü Kihang) | Lorraine Kalassa | Bulelwa Kunene | MOCHA-O-CHELE (Matty Monethi, Puseletso Masemene, Matseliso Motsoane, Katleho Habi, Lineo Segoete) | Mona Eshraghi Hakimi | Ana Machava + Malik Chiconela Santana | Buhlebenkosi Pauline Ndhlovu | Sana Ginwalla (Everyday Lusaka) | Thando Mlambo (Dark Art Matter(s)). 
The exhibition opened at the Association for Visual Arts Gallery in Cape Town on March 8, 2025 (coinciding with Everyday Lusaka’s 7th anniversary) and runs until April 16, 2025.

Last week to catch “Ulendo: A Search For Belongi

Last week to catch “Ulendo: A Search For Belonging”, Daudi M. Yves solo at Everyday Lusaka Gallery!

This timely exhibition reckons with the realities of migration. From the text written by Amouraé Bhola-Chin:

“Daudi reflects, “Wars and conflicts are constant... [But] archiving the time, and existing in it, gives voice to those like me. Art, in itself, is a service.” Through his engagement with what Christina Sharpe theorizes as “wake work,” Daudi tests the boundaries, incompleteness, and uneven rhythm of life shaped by ongoing crises. His works resemble a generative mode of ‘being’ in the wake of conflict- one which is reliant on the natural - even down to the careful consideration of mediums used - and one that is all too aware of unpalatable change.

By taking ownership of his own story and bearing witness to the ongoing worldwide migrant crises as a result of war, Daudi’s pieces compel us to reflect on the complexities of grappling with the unsettling aftermath of a post-colonial world. ‘Ulendo: A Search for Belonging’ invites us to contemplate migration, belonging, and the shared human experience in times of crisis.”

The exhibition closes at 16:00 on Saturday 15th March and will be closed on 12th March for Youth Day.

Thank you to everyone who attended Daudi M. Yves’ walk-in workshop called “No More Borders”. Visitors to the gallery on Saturday 1st March collectively developed two artworks with Daudi. One was a map of Africa before it was divided at the Berlin Conference and the other was a map of the SADC region as it exists today, acknowledging Zambia’s role in the liberation movements of our neighbours.

During the workshop we mapped our ancestry across Zambia and its borders. We used our feet and shoes, pastels, stencils, spray paint, acrylic and pen to trade the journies that were taken to call Zambia home.

These are the themes that Daudi explores in his current solo exhibition “Ulendo: A Search For Belonging” at Everyday Lusaka Gallery, which has ben extended to Saturday 15th March. Entry is free so come by and catch the show if you haven’t already!

Highlights from the 2025 India Art Fair earlier this month where Zambian artists - Kalinosi Mutale, Alick Phiri, Maingaila Muvundika, Daudi M. Yves and Lawrence Chikwa - exhibited with Everyday Lusaka Gallery!

The show entitled ‘The Panorama Beyond the Colour Line’ curated by Prabhakar Kamble, Shamooda Amrelia and George Varley was an invitation from Stranger’s House Gallery, and took place at STIR gallery in Chattarpur, Delhi. The exhibition included almost 40 artists and facilitated a dialogue of cultural congruency between the African and Indian subcontinent. Part of the programming included a photo-print workshop led by Everyday Lusaka founder Sana Ginwalla, master printmaker Tejaswini Sonawane and documentary photographer Akshay Mahajan.

This inaugural feature of Zambian artists at the India Art Fair opened up more possibilities for future collaborations to discuss Zambia’s historic relationship with India. We are extremely grateful for all the curators, interns, facilitators, organisers, friends and artists who made this possible!

We’re happy to announce a workshop next Saturday

We’re happy to announce a workshop next Saturday 1st March at the gallery with Daudi M. Yves.

Many of the conflicts and upheaval in the SADC region when traced back, stem from the colonial demarcations of the continent’s past.

Zambia’s role has largely been a haven for those looking for refuge. The workshop will re-imagine our relationship to our neighbours as we explore the diversity of Zambia beyond its borders.

We hope to see you next Saturday! The workshop is free and materials will be provided.

Daudi M. Yves’ exhibition “Ulendo: A Search for Belonging” is open till 8th March.

The show “documents the peaks and troughs of migrating from one’s beloved home country to another in times of crisis. Emerging in an era marked by conflict, genocide, and widespread social upheaval, Daudi M. Yves’ debut solo brings our attention to forcibly displaced communities in Zambia.

With roots stemming from Congo, Daudi M. Yves pays tribute to his onwards journey that caused him and his loved ones to find refuge in Zambia. The country’s pivotal geopolitical role in the liberation movements of the SADC region underpins the exhibition as Daudi weaves personal and collective narratives from Congo, Palestine, and Sudan into one interconnected tapestry.”
