Chama disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday in Lusaka.

He urged artists, entrepreneurs, and communities to join hands in rallying behind this pivotal event, which aims to generate employment opportunities and enhance the economic prospects of African youths.

“The Africa Music, Arts, and Cultural Exhibition organized by the All-Africa Students Union, represents a dynamic and economically significant event that will highlight the crucial role of arts as the engine for Africa’s renaissance,” Fumba said.

He added that this eagerly anticipated conference promises to catalyse economic growth and development, with young people from across the continent converging to show Africa’s finest arts and creative diversity.

“This unparalleled showcase of African artistic talent holds immense potential to stimulate economic activities and unlock new opportunities, making it a truly impactful and unforgettable event,” He said.

Fumba said the Live Art Challenge will provide a unique platform for young artists to showcase their talents, while also acquiring valuable skills and knowledge in various artistic disciplines.

He said this initiative will empower African youth with marketable skills that can lead to sustainable livelihoods.

“AMACE23 is more than just a celebration of African arts and creativity. It is also a powerful platform for the youth of Zambia to showcase their innovative job creation ideas in the area of arts and compete for prizes,” Fumba said.

He noted that “Youth Elevate Zambia Contest” is a key part of the event, providing a unique opportunity for young people to demonstrate their entrepreneurial skills and creative vision.
