The Bwembya’s are thrilled to announce the grand opening of their market, set to take place on April 11th at 10 a.m. Located in the Quincy neighborhood, the business is owned by Kena Bwembya and her husband Charles, who are passionate about supporting Zambian artists and sharing the beauty of Zambia with their community.
The market will feature a wide range of items from Zambia, including jewelry and kitchenware, as well as art created by local artists. The couple aims to educate their neighbors about the rich culture and heritage of Africa, specifically from Zambia. They hope to bring a piece of Africa right into their community by showcasing its diverse artistry and craftsmanship.
Many people today have limited exposure to different countries and cultures beyond what they see online. The Bwembya’s want to offer a hands-on experience for their community to discover and appreciate the African culture in person. By sharing Zambian art and crafts, they aim to bridge the gap between continents and bring a piece of Zambia to their local community.
According to Surface, a significant portion of Africa’s cultural heritage is held outside the continent. Bwembya’s Market is one of the places working hard to change that narrative by sharing and preserving Zambia’s rich cultural history. The grand opening promises to be an exciting opportunity for the community to explore and connect with the diverse artistry and craftsmanship from Zambia.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity! Be sure to watch our video tour of Bwembya’s Market before April 11th at 10 am when we open our doors for everyone to witness firsthand what we have in store for you!
