Lucie Kamuswekera - Embroidered past, imagined future in Congo

Lucie Kamuswekera (b. 1944) is an artist and one of the few Congolese women of her generation to help shape Congo's collective memory through her art. She learned the embroidery technique during colonial times and uses it today to criticize the Congolese colonial past, as well as the more recent political history of the Congo wars that marked her own life.

The exhibition at Amsab-ISG brings together a selection of her canvases, was funded by Global Minds (Vliruos) and was created in collaboration with Gillian Mathys, Sarah Van Beurden, Sam Kniknie and Maarten Hendriks, researchers at Ghent University and Ohio State University.
