+    "description": [
+      "As Zambia celebrates 60 years of liberation this year, Simple Commodities is an exhibition of questions, inviting us to reflect on how far we have come, where we are today and where we are going as a nation.",
+      "Aaron Samuel Mulenga begins his solo exhibition with a confrontational installation of charcoal and burlap, entitled Ba, Zambia, twafika pesa? Ba Zambia, where have we reached? From the energy crisis to the high cost of simple commodities such as bread, mealie meal and fuel, what is Zambia’s political and economic state today?",
+      "While Aaron invites us to critically assess the present, his perspective of time and existence is one that is cyclical. To Advance, One Must Look Back is one of the artworks in the exhibition reminding us that the past is present with us, as we carry an inscription through our DNA of our ancestors. This connection could serve as a source of strength or inspiration to us. His works in coffee offer an alternative historic portrayal of the origins of Christianity and religious iconography on the continent. By depicting people of colour in these visions, he contests histories that are shaped by Eurocentric narratives. The celestial beings adorning halos hold a gaze into the past, present and future. They could be imagined as Afronauts, Saints or Ancestors that exist with and alongside us.",
+      "Simple Commodities considers how dynamics of power, identity and spirituality have shaped our nation thus far and proposes how we might move forward with an “Africanfuturist” agenda, which centres African thought and vision by drawing from our rich past to imagine a brighter future."
