Initiated by Atelier Picha we invite the residents of Lubumbashi to map their city. We continue the series of workshops that we hosted during the Biennual de Lubumbashi to map the city from the inside out by local artists and different communities.
We will explore the connection between contemporary life in the postcolonial city and the various industrial, economic, ecological, social, and cultural processes that have historically contributed, for better and for worse, to the shape and dynamics of urban life in this and other parts of the world today. By observing through the lens of ‘toxicity’, we open up a critical space of artistic engagement and reflection to explore an inventory of traces, hoping that such a compilation will also tell us more about the potential futures we can imagine from this point forward.
