Banji Chona
Banji Chona (b. 1997, Lusaka, Zambia) is an artist, researcher and curator.
Chona’s current artistic practice is expressed through earth-based alchemy, a process which involves
using indigenous natural materials such as plants and soils in producing bodies of work which combine ancestral baTonga knowledge and contemporary experimental techniques. Visual poetry is another expression of Chona’s artistic practice. Collages are used as mediums alluding to the intersections of ancestral histories, the present-day and the future of baTonga. Anthropological photographs are often used alongside objects, images and histories of personal accord.
