Democratic Republic of Congo:The Giant is Awake
Contemporary Artists from the Democratic Republic of Congo
English - French - Italian
Hardback in good condition, there are some marks and rubbing to the corners and cover
Hopes and torments, memories of colonialism and the uncertainties of
democracy, naïve freshness and digital harshness. Imago Mundi pays
homage to the artists of the Democratic Republic of Congo and their
daily challenges in the search for recognition in the ring of local and
international creativity. 140 works by an artistic community committed
to reconciling its own cultural roots with the developments of modernity
and the contemporary dimension in an extraordinary richness and variety
of techniques, materials, languages. A flowering of styles able to
concentrate in this vast, divided country, rich in raw materials to the
point of overflowing and marked by terrible tragedies in recent times,
special artistic forms that are, for all, a lesson in diversity.
Democratic Republic of Congo: The Giant is Awake is an Imago Mundi
collection, a cultural, democratic, global, non-profit project,
promoted by Luciano Benetton with the aim of creating the widest
possible mapping of the different contemporary artistic experiences of
our world. In Imago Mundi, each country is represented by the works of
established artists and new talents, commissioned with the maximum
freedom of expression, whose only constraint is the 10x12cm format.
