VISIT ZAMBIA

The six-poster Visit Zambia series is modeled after the US Works Progress Administration (WPA) National Park posters commissioned in the 1930’s and 40’s. They featured a limited colour palette, period fonts and iconic scenes from America’s national parks. The scenes depicted in the Visit Zambia series mimic the WPA posters in style and content; they are based on our own research, photos and experiences in Zambia’s amazing parks. 

At its heart, the Visit Zambia series is a visual love letter from our family to the country which we have come to call home for more than a decade. In the spirit of the original WPA, a portion of proceeds of the sale of select posters are donated to two local grassroots organisations that work with the government and local communities to stop poaching and promote conservation in Zambia’s precious national parks.  (40 x 50 cm and 20 x 25, full sets available at a discounted price) Shop VISIT ZAMBIA

Afronauts

From 1960 - 1969 the Southern African country of Zambia had a space program with ambitions of beating the US and Russia in the race to the moon. 

The plan was to send a young cadette to the moon with two trained but uncooperative cats.  If that trip went well there was to be a follow-up mission to Mars involving 12 Afronauts and ten cats. 

The Afronauts were championed by 17 year-old ‘Captain’ Matha Mwamba. The unofficial ‘Zambia National Science, Space Research and Philosophy Academy’ had a tiny aluminium and copper rocket which they claimed was ready to be blasted into space.  In addition to Academy's scientific pursuits, the program had an evangelical objective:  to make Zambia “controllers of the Seventh Heaven Interstellar space.”

giraffes

Standing at 2.3 meters / 7’6” these hand-painted, flat-pack, plywood giraffes, are the official mascots of the Lusaka Arts Festival, held annually in May (ahem, on non-global pandemic years only). Each year during the festival, select local artists are invited to paint a giraffe…which is then donated back to the festival and sold to the highest bidder. Outside of festival season, these giraffes are sold by special order with a portion of proceeds going back to the Lusaka Arts Festival.

This is lusaka

Czech architect, Miroslav Šašek, began his career in children’s literature in the late 1940’s. In 1959, Šašek published “This is Paris”, the first in his beloved 18-book series. For more than 50 years, children everywhere have been able to sample the world’s greatest locales through his works.

Lusaka never made it’s way into the “This is….” series, but that didn’t stop InHouse from imagining this title and creating the book jacket in Šašek’s distinct sytle. We can only wonder what he would have made of the city we call home.
