“Kontempo“ is a term that has emerged as a neologism in Kinshasa‘s independent
art scene. As a counter-narrative to the Western-influenced academic discourse of the last two decades, Kontempo has emerged as a new code
and reinterpretation of the term ‘contemporary‘ in Kinshasa.

This project brings together Kinshasa‘s conception of contemporary art, known as
‚Kontempo‘, and the way in which Kinshasa‘s contemporary art is perceived elsewhere: a theoretical and visual dialogue designed to counter the
simplifications and stereotypes attached to contemporary creation in the DRCongo, and to offer a new platform for artistic creation and discourse.
Following a transdisciplinary and experimental approach, the project explores the artistic possibilities of today, with a focus on digitalisation, artistic
research and writing.
