Naoko Mabon conducts an one-month research residency at Lusaka Contemporary Art Centre in Zambia.

Naoko comments: “Since this is my first contact with the African continent, I will try to visit various practitioners or places in this residency to attain a deeper and physical understanding of wider contexts and broaden my network—with a scope for a future collaboration across Zambia, Scotland, and beyond. Funding support from Hope Scott Trust, which made my trip possible. Thank you so much.”

This residency also marks the 10th year of Naoko’s career as a freelance curator—aka WAGON. Massive shout out for every single one of you who have been supporting WAGON to run until this day. Thank you!
