Link in bio. “Great journeys start with great planning and a type of imagination that projects a better you in a better place and a better future. I started a great journey myself shooting the series, ‘The Afronauts.’ I still remember the feeling of vertigo when I first tried to explain what it was that I was doing... In 1964, a group of college students, led by Edward Makuka Nkoloso, their science teacher, started training to become the first Africans to step foot on the moon. Thus began the Zambian Space Program. Whatever happened next is not as relevant as the fact that they tried.

This image belongs to the first shooting I did for this project, inspired by the Zambian Space Program. I was in my hometown, Alicante, Spain, just a few miles away from my parent’s house - a place that could be both the moon and Zambia. I was not sure of what I was doing but I had a very clear idea in my mind of how I wanted everything to look. That’s because I had travelled many times in my mind to both Africa and the moon and I knew exactly how I wanted them each to be.” PHOTO: Hambita.
