The Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital, Kinshasa, is fast becoming recognised as one of Africa’s most energetic, emerging art scenes. Leading artists from the city are internationally renowned, such as painters Roger Botembe, Maître Nshole and Henri Kalama, and sculptors Freddy Tsimba and Géraldine Tobe, who appeared in Système K, a documentary about Kinshasa’s street art scene. Art collectives (often referring to themselves as Les ateliers réunis in the native French) are flourishing, and many artists are represented by galleries in France, Germany and global art markets. Kinshasa is undoubtably one to watch and these are the art institutions to keep an eye on.
