Congo as Fiction: - Nanina Guyer
Art Worlds Between Past and Present
KORTE INHOUD
Investigates comprehensively how Congolese artists have been exploring and reflecting upon the effects of globalised trade, colonialism, proselytisation, and virtual boundaries
Features many previously unpublished works by Congolese artists both contemporary and the 19th and early 20th centuries
Congo's vibrant art scene attracts great worldwide interest
A single Congo does not exist - or is in any case fictitious. Yet the Democratic Republic of Congo has an extraordinarily vibrant art scene that attracts great interest from around the world. Nowhere else in Africa art production is as manifold in form, media, and materials used.

As the works of artists such as Sammy Baloji or Sinzo Aanza demonstrate, these effects never before were more topical than today.
