LOCA is an artist educational initiative initiated by Anawana Haloba, Victor Muteleska and Milumbe. It comprises a library and artist residency space. Tenthaus has continually shown its support of this initiative through engagement with can be seen in the exhibition entitled "A Squatter at Tenthaus" in 2014.
In March 2020, Tenthaus with Ebba Moi and myself was invited by Anawana Haloba and Livingstone Office for Contemporary Arts (LOCA), Zambia, to hold the second version of the workshop Tuning In-Other Ways of Seeing. In December 2019 an open call for the workshop were sent out, and 15 participants were invited. They are all significant artists diverse in age and background:
Megan McNamara, artist and filmmaker (Cape Town, South Africa), Dominic Nshimba web developer and LOCA team member (Livingstone, Zambia), Emeldah Mpilipili aspiring curator and organizer (Livingstone, Zambia), Mwape Mumbi (Kabwe, Zambia) aspiring curator, Isaac Kalambata, artist (Lusaka Zambia), Stephane Kabila, philosopher and curator (Lubumbashi, DR Congo), Lucas Ngoma, filmmaker (Livingstone, Zambia), Bwanga ”Benny Blow” Kapumpa, fiction writer (Lusaka Zambia), Patrick Haloba, poet and writer (Livingstone, Zambia) and Nelson Sisi, film maker also team member of LOCA. They were joined by guest artist Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa
Together with Moi and Eriksen the participants went through participatory and exchange modes of (collective) learning/teaching. These three intensive workshop weeks was planned to end with a final exhibition in the National Art Gallery in Livingstone, opening on the 26.3.2020. Due to COVID19 situation this exhibition was postponed until the pandemic situation is stabilized. 
LOCA creating a curriculum for an alternative informal school of thought. In August 2019, the first episode was initiated towards this development under the same title and led by Romeo Gongora. The project is set up as a three weeks residency in which invited established artists, art historians and curators whose works LOCA find of significance meet and work together with emerging artists mainly from the region and the continent. 
The travel was supported by OCA – Office for contemporary Art International Support.
