Established in 2018, Everyday Lusaka is a photography platform and gallery that was developed to change conversations and perceptions of the city beyond the conventional photography found in Zambia. By exploring different formats, possibilities and uses of photography – mobile, amateur, digital, print, written, collaborative, archival or exhibitory – we work to catalyse this shift towards a more considered visual representation of the country.
