Hinweisbild auf den Vortrag «Über die Arbeit sprechen» von Joseph K. Kasau Wa Mambwe

Joseph K. Kasau Wa Mambwe’s practice has been built around the desire to tell stories, whether his own or those of the communities in which he grew up and still lives. At the intersection of photography, video art and creative writing, his productions are very attentive to social interactions, highlighting power relations and proposing alternatives for change and gathering.

Joseph K. Kasau Wa Mambwe holds a degree in Information and Communication Sciences with a specialization in Performing Arts from the University of Lubumbashi. In 2020, he co-founded the support platform for research, education and creation Nidjekonnexion, and launched the Onesha Lubumbashi project in 2021 as an opportunity to create alternative narratives about the different cities of Congo. He is one of the 2023 residents at La Becque/Artist Residency in association with Pro Helvetia – Swiss Arts Council.

The lecture will be held in English.
