Vitshois Mwilambwe Bondo

UniManipulation, Corps d’un Congo malade

Vitshois Mwilambwe Bondo works in Congo, a country with a tiresome history of colonization and of peace initiatives of the United Nations. In Kinshasa he belongs to an art collective of young thinkers who tried to come to terms with the new and chaotic society of Congo. All the attempts are articulated around a concept which is called – the librisme. It is a movement of young revolutionary thinking artists in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other countries of the African continent showing opposition to colonial school academic art. Being invited to Strasbourg and Amsterdam Bondo’s work investigates questions dialogues between Western and African cultures.     More
