Banji Chona is a Zambian storyteller whose work manifests across the artistic and cultural spectrum.
At the crux of Banji’s work is channeling the visceral need to bring to life accessible spaces and bodies of work dedicated to fostering nuanced artistic and cultural dialogue as put forward by herself alongside other Zambian artists within a wide range of disciplines. Her mission is the deconstruction and reconstruction of orthodox archetypes and normative ideologies through the use of dynamic multidisciplinary art. This has great potential to shift paradigms and inspire children of the Zambezi to live and express their truths which exist at the intersection of historical and contemporary happenstance.
Banji is currently based in Rome, Italy
