Our curatorial project seeks to delve into processes of transformation. We envision these processes as taking place through texture, ideas, concepts or visual renderings, and mostly as transformative political processes. In pressing times of decolonial thinking and action, contemporary artists’ visual exploration questions, enacts and proposes perspectives of change. With an existential will to transcend the violence and traumas that are constitutive of our modern era, these artists inquire about the legacy of systems of oppression and exploitation, whether this legacy is monumental, symbolic, structural or ideological. Their creativity and work are not merely critical, but are foremost restorative and healing gestures. What does transformation in a decolonial context entail? Transformation always implies some sort of transition that happens in various iterations through which the texture, the body, the memory or the concept endure shocks, erasures or ruptures. As we are collectively going through such a transitory and necessary phase, our reflections and transformative processes must lay the possibilities for new imaginaries. As a matter of fact, and among other artists, Léonard Pongo visually and poetically captures Congo’s territory as an allegory for the origin of the world. Michelange Quay probes a catharsis for black people/afro-descendants through a hypnotic video. Viwe Madinda, through the personification of a spiritual guide, disrupts the colonial space.
