Everyday Lusaka

Next Saturday, 20th June, Everyday Lusaka Gallery opens “Between Two Shores” a solo exhibition by Jono Terry.

Jono Terry (b.1987), is a Zimbabwean-born documentary photographer, researcher, and writer. His work is primarily focused on post-colonial Africa, and his long-term photographic projects aim to both unpack and confront colonial history whilst offering insights into its continued legacy on contemporary African society.

Most recently he has been exploring the social history of Zimbabwe, the country of his birth, and the subsequent politics of belonging that remain since its independence in 1980. As a grandson of British immigrants to Rhodesia, he is interested in questioning his own belonging as a colonial remnant and navigating the complex landscape of white, Zimbabwean (African) identity. He is strongly motivated by creating a dialogue about the past to decolonize the present. The core of his practice is rooted in challenging Western, colonial narratives, acknowledging the systems of power that created them, and celebrating the innate beauty of his home.

Among his accolades are the OD Photo Prize, a LensCulture Crtitics Choice Award, a British Journal of Photography Portrait of Humanity Award, a Contemporary African Photography (CAP) Prize shortlisting and an honourable mention in the 2024 PH Museum Photography Grant. His work has been widely exhibited across Italy, Poland, India, the United Kingdom, and he has just had his first solo exhibition, They Still Owe Him a Boat, at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe.

“Thresholds: On Dreams, Geographies and Belonging” traverses liminal spaces between home and origin / dream and reality / the personal and the collective. Two pairs of artists created bodies of work that push the bounds of the photograph. Tshepiso Moropa (South Africa) and Mamu Unu (Nigeria/ UK) explore the spiritual, the intangible and personal history. While Maingaila Muvundika (Zambia) and al Basir Sheikh (Bangladesh/UK) document diasporic communities between Lusaka and Cambridge.

Unfolding within the context of the Bakashimika International Photography Festival, the photographic exhibition reflects on how belonging is shaped through movement, cultural inheritance, memory, spirituality, and the landscapes we inhabit – both real and imagined. Thresholds is presented as a boundary to be crossed – a site where dreams and belonging are shared across geographies, while horizontally intersecting with contemporary dialogues within the wider Zambian photography space.

The story of Lake Kariba is steeped in mystery with unexplored narratives of colonial legacy, African mythology, mass displacements, commercial advancement and the clash of modernity and tradition. Zimbabwean-born Jono Terry’s enigmatically titled “Between Two Shores” solo exhibition narrates the many facets of the Kariba dam unknown to many citizens of Zimbabwe and Zambia that share the lake.

The exhibition opens on Saturday 20th June 2026 at Everyday Lusaka Gallery. This will be Jono Terry’s debut exhibition in Zambia. We are excited to share that he will be physically present for the opening of the exhibition! Please join us in welcoming him to Lusaka at the opening.

“Remembered through mixed emotions “

These works explore two enduring emotional inheritances — gratitude and regret — and how both shape personal and collective identity across generations. They express a desire to acknowledge and heal destructive patterns while honouring the enduring love, resilience, and connection found within family and community.

In Inheritance and Repair, grouped symbols explore inheritance, awareness, and healing. The hand, the stitching, and a suggested beaded rosary , suggest care, repair, prayer, and hope for healing across generations. The blindfold, bent silver fork, staples, and pins reflect inherited bias, social privilege, uneasy conscience, and the growing awareness of harm caused by division and “othering.” Khaki and wooden buttons reference both resilience and entitlement passed down through family and community histories.

“Why The Absence Matters” 1 & 2

Since my formative years, photography in its practice and materiality have always been an exercise in memory. My fixation on the family album, the act of picking up the camera to photograph to keep a line of connection to my late mother and my focus on self portraiture all situate the material manifestation of my internal workings.

In engaging with my internal landscape during “the practice of awareness” exercise led by Remi, I was confronted with the gaps, spaces and interruptions that exist even in a space where we have full reign to create.

With these works I wanted to explore the uncomfortable emotions that are often suppressed for the sake of community and sanity. Unpacking an alternative state of being that acknowledges imperfection, doubt and fear but rests in knowing that this too is a normal state of being.

“The Untangling” 1 & 2

I remember the first time I experienced stitching was with my grandmother when I was a child. She would sit in silence and look at the texture of the stones and sticks she had collected. She would talk about their textures, and sometimes we would sew together. Other times, she would just sit with a calm presence and encourage me to do the same.

My work in this residency comes from the idea of untangling thoughts, experiences, memories, and feelings. Stitching became a way to move through my inner landscape and see what is tangled insidein a different light, and to make space for what needs time and compassion.

“The Untangling” pieces have a light at their centre. This light represents constant awareness and the constant support we have,even while we transition and discover different parts of who we are. It is a reminder to rest, to notice, and to sit with transformation rather than rush through it.

I have been thinking a lot about rest and restoration lately. This residency has given me space to lie within that feeling of rest, and to work through a repetitive but yet meditative process of threading and stitching into canvas material. Each stitch is both a physical action and a mental return for me.

“Vortex of Days”

This collage embodies time as motion fragments of color and texture swirl into a vortex, symbolizing the passage of days and the interconnectedness of lives. Unlike the chair piece, which anchors memory in a tangible witness, this work dissolves into pure abstraction. The spirals are not just marks; they are currents of remembrance, pulling individual stories into a collective flow. Here, memory is infinite, cyclical, and without a single focal point a reminder that remembrance is as much about the unseen connections as it is about the visible traces.

“Witness of Time”

This work is both image and archive. At its center, the chair stands as a silent witness, a vessel of presence and absence. Stitched into the collage are two flip books: one containing acknowledgements of those who have passed on, the other filled with swirling vortex drawings. Together, they embody remembrance as both personal and universal. The names anchor memory in lived reality, while the spirals symbolize the passage of time, connecting every life in an endless continuum. The act of flipping the pages becomes a ritual each turn echoes the rhythm of days gone by, each swirl a reminder that memory is never static but always in motion. This piece invites viewers not only to look but to participate, to touch, and to carry remembrance forward.

“Time Travel” Series

I collected old photographs of myself as a child, my mother and moments that had been sitting untouched for years. Cutting them apart and rebuilding them into collages became a way of revisiting memories physically.

Some memories feel complete, while others feel distant and scary. I use fragmentation, layering, and rearrangement to explore how memory changes over time and how family photographs can hold both comfort and discomfort at the same time.

The remembrance is about revisiting childhood and trauma, the emotional
weight carried inside ordinary images. It is also about allowing memory to exist
imperfectly, playful, emotional, and constantly transforming.

“She Who Remembers”
This piece explores ancestral remembrance through nurturing, healing, and inherited care.

I choose only these still acknowledging parts of me that are still hurting and holding space for them. At the center is a faceless figure with locs intentionally without a defined identity representing not only me, but collective memory, Black womanhood, and the continuation of lineage.

The spiral sun out of braids symbolizes ancestral wisdom, continuity, and cyclical healing. Hair becomes more than adornment; it becomes archive, inheritance, and connection. The spiral references both the sun (a source of life) and the repeating patterns through which knowledge, survival, and love are passed down.

The affirmations surrounding the figure mark a movement from pain toward self-definition: These are acts of remembering and reclaiming. The plant and clay pot represent nurturing and reciprocity. Plants symbolize the love, care, and teachings I received now being poured back into life through how I care for myself, others, creativity, and the world around me. The pot speaks to molding, repairing, and reusing practices familiar in many African homes where objects, stories, and love are not discarded but reshaped and continued.

The stones symbolize home physical fragments of where I come from, grounding the work in memory, land, and belonging. The facelessness creates openness: this is not only my story, but an invitation for viewers to locate themselves within cycles of ancestry, healing, nurture, and becoming.

NICOLA-MARIE TEMBO

“Icikapila, cumfwe umwine” — only the wearer of the shoe knows where it hurts.

These pieces exist between two proverbs: one about pain, and one about departure. Together, they speak about the deeply personal nature of grief, change, and individuality.

The metal birds within the paintings serve as metaphors for the people who pass through our lives and eventually leave. Inspired by the proverb, “Every bird flies with its own wings,” they represent the inevitability of individuals following their own paths, guided by their own desires, growth, and destinies. Their departure is not always malicious; often, it is simply a reflection of change and self-preservation.

However, these works also explore the pain that such individuality can leave behind. While each bird moves freely toward its own future, the wounds created in the process remain with those left behind. The hollow opening in the chest symbolizes this absence; an emotional rupture that cannot always be seen or fully understood by others.

The birds are constructed from sharp metal to embody this contradiction: they are beautiful and autonomous, yet capable of causing deep pain. As they cut through the chest, they continue looking forward, unaware or perhaps unable to acknowledge the damage left in their wake. In this way, the work reflects the quiet loneliness of suffering, and the idea that only the person carrying the wound truly understands the extent of its pain.
