Studio 225 is a place and a project designed by Zambian artist David Daut Makala. The project began with a 9-month rental of a small shop in Lusaka’s Chilenje Market and has evolved into a permanent, experimental, research-based studio. Studio 225 invites Zambian and international artists into the space to collaborate with the market community to create work. The door of Studio 225 is always open when space is being used, and much of the artists’ time is spent in the marketplace: the goal is full access to, and participation in, the process and works for anyone interested. The pieces produced in the space are also exhibited in the market.
