Imvelo Studios' 'Rise and Shine' Spotlights Emerging Zambian Artists

Imvelo Studios in Zambia presents 'Rise and Shine,' a group show curated by founder Ng’onga Silupya featuring emerging artists across mediums. The exhibition asserts youth as the current pulse of the nation, not just a future dividend. Artists include Jeremiah Ludaka, whose figurative paintings blend representation and abstraction; Boyd Bishonga, whose Neo-Expressionist works like 'Time to Sleep' (2025) use impasto; Kaluba B. Chilawa, whose sculptures explore cultural identity and women's roles; Hassan Yasini and Clare Chilemu, who contrast traditional and digital printmaking; and Hezroth Simanda, whose multimedia compositions defy categorization. Silupya describes the show as the 'Golden Hour' of Zambian contemporary art, celebrating youth as a movement of light and unapologetic presence.
