Banja, is the word for family in the Chewa and Nyanja languages spoken in southern African countries, including Zambia. Banja Ku Ma Ziko Ya Bene loosely translates to 'family in foreign lands'. Shot entirely on an iPhone 7, Banja (Family) was produced for a video art assignment at university and the experimental short film explores themes of social isolation and reconnection with family members living a shared migrant experience.
