Reflections on the Stories of Kalingalinga workshop by Geoffrey Phiri

The potential or rather the ability to tell our own stories is very much the essence of the "Stories of Kalingalinga" workshop. These images tell our tale. From where I have been sitting in the workshop, it was interesting to observe that there has been a lot of enthusiasm from the participants. Some are professionals in their own right and some very enthusiastic up and coming artists. There is definitely no doubt that we are headed in the right direction, we are building a network that will be active long after the workshop. The energy that the participants have continued to exhibit outside the workshop is another positive that needs commendation. My hope is that other institutions will come on board and thus the visual stories of Kalingalinga and Zambia will continue to develop.
