From 2013 to 2015, Waza Art Centre, in Lubumbashi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Visual Arts Network of South Africa (VANSA) developed a joint project titled Revolution Room. The aim of the project was to reflect on artistic and new museum practices in and with communities at four different sites, three in the DRC and one in South Africa. At each site, the project reflected on the social and spatial dynamics, the communities’ various modes of expression, the relationship to memory, and the latent and visible social tensions that defined each. The intention was to understand and reflect how these complexities can manifest and be expressed in public space through artistic practices. The process resulted in nine projects that developed a range of material used for exhibitions and/or public presentations in 2014 and 2015.
