The White Cube Lusanga intends to break down the barriers of inequality through action, critical research and dialogue on the contemporary art world’s connection to the plantation system. The museum is run by the Congolese Plantation Workers’ Art League CATPC in collaboration with Human Activities, and is based in the middle of their ‘Post Plantation’ – a planation formerly owned by Unilever – in Lusanga, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The White Cube's international program aims not only to bring awareness of the exploitative plantation system, but also to bring real change in the lives on plantation workers on the ground. Every exhibition and event is part of a regenerative cycle that brings back land and agency to the community of Lusanga. In the future, the museum strives to share the regenerative Post-Plantation model and build a global network of plantation workers.
