The Congolese Art & Education LabHub is a permanent institution I am founding in Vienna, bringing together three functions under one roof: exhibition and curation of contemporary and traditional Congolese and wider African art, an education programme with workshops and outreach for schools, institutions, and the public, and a discourse platform addressing language, representation, and political communication. Structured as a sole proprietorship, the LabHub is set to launch in January. It builds on my 15+ years of experience in programme leadership and communications, including my work on Congo Week and with the Fondation La Grande, and aims to give Vienna's large Congolese diaspora a lasting cultural and educational home, while strengthening economic and diplomatic ties with the DRC.
