“Echoes of a Day” at White Cube, Lusanga
On Tuesday 9 September 2025, at 15:00 CET, the exhibition "Echoes of a Day" will festively open at the White Cube in Lusanga, Congo, through a live video connection with Terneuzen, The Netherlands. It will run until 21 September 2025 and can also be visited online at whitecube.online.
For this exhibition, students of the Lodewijks College created works as part of a long-term collaboration with Human Activities. The students from Terneuzen met the members of the Congolese collective CATPC and drew on these discussions, linking them to their own experiences. Over the year, the students have been discovering how a community in Lusanga has reclaimed their land through art and started making works themselves.
The collaboration between Lodewijk College and Human Activities will continue in the future. Human Activities is developing a new art platform together with the people of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in the Netherlands. The students of Lodewijk College are involved in all phases of the construction of this White Cube. This new art platform will work according to the same principle as in Lusanga: art enables the community to take back control of its history, land, and future.
The project is part of Human Activities’ program LEARN, DIG, BUILD, which is made possible by Mondriaan Fonds, Fonds21, Gieskes-Strijbis Fund, the municipality of Terneuzen, and the province of Zeeland.
