Lusaka
Lusaka is the largest city in the Republic of Zambia with a population of 1.8 million. It serves as Zambia’s capital and the country’s commercial center. Lusaka is often an over-looked place for travellers to Africa. However, this sprawling city has enjoyed something of a resurgence in recent years, with bustling city markets, a number of upmarket restaurants and bars, and good links around the country.
Kabulonga – regarded as one of the most prestigious areas in Lusaka is where the symposium will be based. We have designated a ‘festival mile’ between the Open Window campus and the nearest hotels, including the Urban Hotel where we will be hosting the symposium. Dotted along this mile are restaurants, galleries, event and exhibition spaces related to the iMPAC symposium and arts festival.
