Abstract

Seit über 20 Jahren verwandelt ein Bürgerkrieg ein Gebiet von der Grö�e Westeuropas in die Hölle auf Erden: Der Kongokrieg ist seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg der opferreichste Konflikt überhaupt. Längst geht es nicht mehr um ethnische Gegensätze, sondern vor allem um die Kontrolle über Rohstoffe. Die Toten gehen in die Millionen, die Täter bleiben straffrei. Im Sommer 2015 realisierte Milo Rau mit seinem Team »das ambitionierteste politische Theaterprojekt, das je auf die Bühne kam« (The Guardian). Er lud im Kriegsgebiet Opfer, Milizionäre, Regierungsvertreter, Oppositionelle, Unternehmer und Vertreter internationaler Organisationen zum »Kongo Tribunal«. Dieser Band bietet einen umfassenden Überblick zum »grö�enwahnsinnigsten Kunstprojekt unserer Zeit« (Radio France Internationale). Im Buch versammelt sind die wichtigsten Zeugenaussagen, Statements der internationalen Jury (u. a. der Afrika-Korrespondentin Colette Braeckman, der Menschenrechtlerin Saran Kaba Jones, des Snowden-Anwalts Wolfgang Kaleck, der Soziologin Saskia Sassen, des Politikers und Künstlers Marc-Antoine Vumilia und des Gewaltforschers Harald Welzer), Reden, Interviews und Rechercheberichte von Milo Rau, die Plädoyers der Richter sowie die wichtigsten Analysen und Presseberichte. „Das zusammengestellte Material vermittelt zwar nur einen begrenzten Eindruck vom Theaterprojekt Kongo-Tribunal, aber es bietet eine Fülle von Begleit- und Hintergrundinformationen, Positionen und Denkanstö�e, um über die Situation im Kongo und über Fragen globaler Gerechtigkeit weiter nachzudenken, aber auch, um politisch und/oder künstlerisch aktiv zu werden“ (literaturkritik.de).

Abstract

One hundred years after the founding of the École Coloniale Superieure in Antwerp, the adjacent Middelheim Museum invites Sandrine Colard, researcher and curator, to conceive an exhibition that probes silenced histories of colonialism in a site-specific way. For Colard, the term Congoville encompasses the tangible and intangible urban traces of the colony, not on the African continent but in 21st-century Belgium: a school building, a park, imperial myths, and citizens of African descent. In the exhibition and this adjoining publication, the concept Congoville is the starting point for 15 contemporary artists to address colonial history and ponder its aftereffects as black flâneurs walking through a postcolonial city.00Due to the multitude of perspectives and voices, this book is both a catalogue and a reference work comprised of artistic and academic contributions. Together, the participating artists and invited authors unfold the blueprint of 'Congoville', an imaginary city that still subconsciously affects us, but also encourages us to envision a decolonial utopia.00With contributions by: Pieter Boons, Sandrine Colard, Filip De Boeck, Bas De Roo, Nadia Yala Kisukidi, Sorana Munsya & Leonard Pongo, Herman Van Goethem, Sara Weyns, Nabilla Ait Daoud.00Participating artists: Sammy Baloji, Bodys Isek Kingelez, Maurice Mbikayi, Jean Katambayi, KinAct Collective, Simone Leigh, Hank Willis Thomas, Zahia Rahmani, Ibrahim Mahama, Ângela Ferreira, Kapwani Kiwanga, Sven Augustijnen, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Elisabetta Benassi, Pelagie Gbaguidi.00Exhibition: Middelheim Museum, Antwerp, Belgium (29.5-3.10.2021).

Abstract

In October 1996, a group of ageing Marxists and unemployed youth coalesced to revolt against Mobutu Seso Seko, president of Zaire/Congo since 1965. Backed by a Rwanda-led regional coalition that drew support from Asmara to Luanda, the rebels of the AFDL marched over 1500 kilometers inseven months to crush the dictatorship. To the Congolese rebels and their Pan-Africanist allies, the vanquishing of the Mobutu regime represented nothing short of a "second independence" for Congo and Central Africa as a whole and the dawning of a new regional order of peace and security. Within fifteen months, however, Central Africa's "liberation peace" would collapse, triggering a cataclysmic fratricide between the heroes of the war against Mobutu and igniting the deadliest conflict since World War II. This book gives an account Africa's Great War. It argues that the seeds of Africa's Great War were sown in the revolutionary struggle against Mobutu- the way the revolution came together, the way it was organized, and, paradoxically, the very way it succeeded. In particular, the book argues that the overthrow of Mobutu proved a Pyrrhic victory because the protagonists ignored the philosophy of Julius Nyerere, the father of Africa's liberation movements: they put the gun before the unglamorous but essential task of building the domestic and regional political institutions and organizational structures necessary to consolidate peace after revolution.

Abstract

This monograph is a comprehensive tribute to the Polish-Belgian artist Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalska). Her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, captivating audiences with her innovative exploration of fluid spaces and dynamic interactions. Her work, an important contribution to twentieth century sculpture, is essentially divided into two major sections: the textile works of the 1960s to 1980s and the subsequent neoprene works of the last years of her life. Her practice moved away from traditional weaving through experimental techniques and evolved into three-dimensional works-first made of cords, then of neoprene sheets-that interacted with the space and the viewer. TAPTA (*1926-1997) was born in Poland and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof Wierusz-Kowalski, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and-from 1976 until 1990-as a professor at La Cambre. (Verlagsangaben)
