Voices of Zaïre - art in the streets

Dirk Dumon & 54' — 1989

In Kinshasa, in Kisangani, inside shops, bars and workshops walls have their word to say. It is the language of advertisement but also that of history, of mythology and social criticism. Masters of the street such as Samba, Moke, Syms, Mbuecky and the other self-taught painters offer theirvisions of dream and reality with both humour and malice, sincerely, on both form and content; an original artistic explosion filmed within its context of social and cultural stir.
