In-dependence is an exhibition that summons memory to reflect on the present, honoring Africa’s paths to liberation and the Pan-African journey that shaped the continent’s identity. Through key historical figures and movements, the works revisit the origins of Pan-Africanism and the struggles for independence, revealing their enduring influence on contemporary African consciousness.
From early thinkers to revolutionary leaders, and culminating in Angola’s 50 years of independence, the exhibition frames freedom as an ongoing social, cultural, and human process. Using reclaimed materials and the colors of liberation, the artist weaves a visual language that is both political and poetic — reminding us that independence is not a closed chapter, but a living commitment to identity, unity, and the future of Africa.
