A picture being ‘worth a thousand words’, the SMP is excited to announce plans to showcase and celebrate SMP members’ dignified partnerships with Malawi, in a touring photographic exhibition.
Entitled Anthu Pamodzi — “People Together”, the exhibition brings together powerful images that tell the story of people‑to‑people connections at the heart of Scotland–Malawi relationships. The photographs highlight collaboration, friendship, and mutual respect, capturing how communities in Scotland and Malawi are working together to build a better world.
Through these snapshots, the exhibition paints a broader picture of Scotland’s engagement with Malawi as a nation, while also spotlighting the involvement of specific communities across Scotland.
This exhibition forms part of SMP’s 20th birthday celebrations, marking two decades of connecting people, organisations, and communities across Scotland and Malawi. By touring the exhibition and hosting it with local Malawi champions in communities throughout Scotland, SMP aims to:
- Share stories of impactful partnerships rooted in equity, dignity, and mutual benefit.
- Amplify the voices and lived experiences of SMP members and their partners.
- Raise awareness of Malawi links locally and across Scotland.
- Create informal, welcoming spaces for conversation, learning, and connection.
The images, contributed by SMP members, help tell authentic stories of collaboration that place partnership at the centre.
The Anthu Pamodzi photographic exhibition has already been hosted in the following communities:
- Killearn - In partnership with Killearn Malawi Group and Changing Lives Malawi
- Innerleithen - In partnership with Thondwe community Partnership
- Inverurie - In partnership with F.R.O.M. (Famine Relief for Orphans in Malawi)
In each location, local engagement has helped shape the exhibition, reflecting the diverse ways communities across Scotland connect with Malawi.
The exhibition will continue to tour to communities across Scotland.
Watch this space for details of the next exhibition location coming soon.
If your community, organisation, or venue would be interested in hosting Anthu Pamodzi, please get in touch with the Scotland Malawi Partnership.
