A few words about your artistic career <\/h3>\n

After training in graphic arts and plastic arts at the Beaux-Arts in Kinshasa, I had the opportunity to take part in solo and group exhibitions in the DRC as well as in France, Burkina Faso and Belgium. Since 2016, I have taken part in a number of workshops and completed several residencies. In 2019, I won the Prix Solidarit\u00e9 La\u00efque at the Ouagadougou International Sculpture Biennial.<\/p>\n

How long have you been an artist? <\/h3>\n

Born in 1992 in Kisangani (DRC), I began my secondary education in 2005 with a course in the plastic arts at the Kinshasa Academy of Fine Arts. After that, I went on to do postgraduate studies in the interior design department. In 2014, I got my Baccalaur\u00e9at in Graphic Arts and it was there, after my studies at the Acad\u00e9mie des Beaux-Arts that I decided to get involved in performance, as a tool to develop my practice. In 2016, I decided to go to Goma to deepen my professional work for a few years. <\/p>\n

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you? <\/h3>\n

Although the filmmakers, actors and I are determined to make this project a reality, it will require a certain financial investment. This grant will give us a lot of encouragement, but it will also enable us to carry out a creative residency with disadvantaged children, who will be able to build their own robots and learn about film.<\/p>\n

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency? <\/h3>\n

The aim is to put on a wandering performance in disadvantaged neighbourhoods and to make a fictional documentary film about the project.<\/p>\n

For me, the Covid-19 crisis is a final warning from nature and the planet. My artistic career already denounced the disruption of our materialistic societies. I feel it is my duty to raise awareness and influence decision-makers so that the world can change.<\/p>\n
