Circus Zambia

Circus Zambia is a social enterprise and registered Non-Governmental Organisation located in Lusaka, Zambia. Circus Zambia was founded in 2015 by a 3 young circus artists from Chibolya and a Dutch Development worker. The company was founded as a reaction to the stigma and discrimination many young people from slum areas experience in Zambia. Circus Zambia works with marginalized youth and other marginalized communities and uses the power of arts to transform lives. Our mission is to support youth through education, life-skills and creative arts in order for them to become changemakers in their communities. This is done mainly through performance arts, such as circus and theatre but Circus Zambia also incorporates other art forms in its programs and collaborates with visual artists, poets, writers and many more artists to share stories of marginalized groups. Circus Zambia has its own space; a creative hub where it hosts performance, art exhibitions, workshops and training sessions.
