Here, in addition to the exhibition space, the artist - who became famous for his controversial episode III: Enjoy Poverty, where it is said that the Congo markets his poverty as if it were a natural resource - he also made one School, a conference room, a kitchen, a meeting place for the community and a laboratory where all the works have been built.
Thanks to the proceeds obtained from the sale of these works, the collective has managed to regain over 200 hectares of former plantation lands over the years which are slowly transforming biodiverse into agroforeste. But not only.
In anticipation of the Biennale, the Catpc also presented a petition for the temporary loan of Balot, a sculpture considered sacred by the community, now preserved in the collection of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA).
The African collective, chaired by René Ngongo and composed by the artists Djonga Bismar, Alphonse Bukumba, Irène Kanga, Muyaka Kapasa, Matthieu Kasiama, Jean Kawata, Huguette Kilembo, Mbuku Kimpala, Athanas Kindendi, Anti Leba, Charles Leba, Philomène Lembusa, Richard Leta. , Jérémie Mabiala, Plamedi Makongote, Blaise Mandafu, Daniel Menga, Mira Meya, Emery Muhamba, Tantine Mukundu, Olele Mulela, Daniel Muvunzi, Alvers Tamasala, Aven Art Tamasala, believes that once the sculpture returned the unjustchies of the past will be corrected. The artistic team and the VMFA are currently in contact to make the loan.
