Zaluso Arts, an art collective founded by two visual artists Akulu Lipenga and Mac Ndalama, has said it is set for the Lake of Stars (LoS) Festival London and Scotland on March 10 and 11.<\/p>\n
Lipenga and Ndalama left the country on Saturday alongside musician Faith Mussa, who will also be flying the country\u2019s flag at the two events.<\/p>\n
The duo, alongside Faith, has since arrived in London.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very happy for the opportunity to meet other artists and bring international attention to Malawian art,\u201d Akulu said yesterday.<\/p>\n
Zaluso Arts engages in activities such as painting murals, hosting art shows as well as other art projects\u2014 all this aimed at promoting art in Malawi.<\/p>\n
Akulu and Mac have travelled to Los London and Scotland, courtesy of the British Council.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe met the team from British Council at the Festival of Ideas in 2017 where we did a superhero workshop for children to create characters that deal with Malawian problems. So, now, there is a programme called Rovers of the world and they have contracted us to take part in some activities at workshops,\u201d Akulu said.<\/p>\n
He said they are teaming up with some street artists called Woodstreetwalls in London to paint some walls at Hoe Street, Walthamstow. They will also travel to Glasgow, Scotland, to paint some more walls.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will also be exhibiting our personal work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Zaluso Arts has been vibrant hosting shows such as \u2018Art After Dark\u2019 which was a protest against blackouts at Story Club in Lilongwe and the recent one was last month at Grittah\u2019s Camp themed around Valentine\u2019s Day titled \u2018Art After Love\u2019.<\/p>\n
The main LoS Festival will take place in the country on September 28-30 at a venue to be announced.<\/p>\n
