In 'Colonial Legacies', Gabriella Nugent examines a generation of contemporary artists born or based in the Congo whose lens-based art attends to the afterlives and mutations of Belgian colonialism in postcolonial Congo. Focusing on three artists and one artist collective, Nugent analyses artworks produced by Sammy Baloji, Michèle Magema, Georges Senga and Kongo Astronauts, each of whom offers a different perspective onto this history gleaned from their own experiences. In their photography and video art, these artists rework existent images and redress archival absences, making visible people and events occluded from dominant narratives. Their artworks are shown to offer a re-reading of the colonial and immediate post-independence past, blurring the lines of historical and speculative knowledge, documentary and fiction. Nugent demonstrates how their practices create a new type of visual record for the future, one that attests to the ramifications of colonialism across time.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is world famous today for its vibrant art scene. Its multifaceted, creative, and current art production is unlike any other on the african continent. But the country already brought forth striking masks, sculptures, and pieces of design in times past. Published to coincide with the exhibition at Museum Rietberg, "Congo as fiction" presents objects, photographs, and documents - some never published before - from the archive of german art ethnologist Hans Himmelheber, who traveled the Congo in 1938/39. The artworks and images bear witness to the extraordinary creative force of the period. "Congo as fiction" avoids a biased eurocentric view by having contemporary congolese artists engage directly with Hans Himmelheber's archive. Their critical contributions address the effects of colonialization, global trade, and the art market on the country, and combine the past and present of the congolese art world in an entirely new way.
