Kinzonzi 2.0 is a three-day online program by Laboratoire Kontempo. It presents artistic videos, artist talks, radio and conferences. The emphasis is on an exchange between local perspectives of Kinshasa, and international artistic trends. These topics include stereotypes in the representation and perception of the Congolese art scene, (post) colonial realities and their power dynamics, and linguistic, intellectual and epistemic hierarchies. The term “Kinzonzi” is interpreted according to the current popular culture of Kinshasa in the sense of a secret agreement, a space of interactions necessary to question the imaginary, the foundation of our futures and our contemporary realities.
