This Congolese plantation workers’ collective develops new economic initiatives based on the production and sale of critical art. Through the launch of a creative economy, it aims to improve the economic position of its members and their communities.
The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) will design our white cube in Zeeland, the Netherlands. Previously, OMA designed the main infrastructure for the research center and white cube on the plantation in Congo, offering their services pro bono. Kinshasa-based JLP Concept was the executive architect of thus project.
