Fabricated Stories was an eight week multimedia residency which was geared towards (re)creating an array of dynamic cultural material directly inspired by the Shared Histories object archive. The Shared Histories archive is a collaborative archival project composed of ethnographic and cultural material that has its provenance in different regions of Zambia.
Each artist was given access to the collection from which they each selected objects to research and incorporate into the development of a new body of work. The objects selected included photographic material, celebratory masks, bronze clubs and more.
The work galvanised during the residency will be part of a group show in which the artists will have their work showcased.
