Finally, the center will have two private spaces dedicated to national and international arts and culture Residents at any given time.<\/p>\n<p>January 6th 2023, will be the official opening day of the Centre, and as the build-up, to that momentous day, we plan an inaugural exhibition that will last for at least two years from the opening day.<\/p>\n<p>The inaugural exhibition and projects that will follow will be inspired by archival material from pre and post-independence euphoria.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lusakacontemporary.co.zm\/the-team\/\" target=\"_blank\"
