Collaborate with the Cultural Lab
Showcase your art and preserve our heritage
Join Our Community of Artists
The Cultural Lab is a platform dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history and traditions of Malawi. We believe that art is a powerful tool for storytelling and cultural preservation. We are inviting talented Malawian artists, creators, and storytellers to join us and share their work with a global audience. By contributing your unique content, you are not only gaining visibility but also becoming an integral part of our mission to honor and showcase our heritage.
Content Guidelines & Requirements
At the heart of our mission is authenticity. We only accept content that is original, authentic, and self-made. This means all submissions must be your own unique creation, not borrowed or copied from others. We encourage you to share your personal perspective and creative voice.
All submissions, whether they are photographs, illustrations, videos, or written pieces, must be of high quality. High-resolution images and clear, well-edited videos are essential. Your work must be culturally and historically accurate, and respectfully represent Malawian culture. Please also provide a short artist biography and a link to your online portfolio.
Every submission is carefully reviewed by our curatorial team to ensure it meets our standards of quality, authenticity, and cultural significance. We will notify you of the status of your submission within a few weeks. Our goal is to create a diverse and genuine collection of Malawian art.
