The works of students of the Lodewijks College were created for this exhibition as part of a long-term collaboration between the Lodewijk College and Human Activities. The students from Terneuzen met the members of the Congolese collective CATPC at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, where CATPC had a major solo exhibition earlier this year. The students drew on these discussions and linked them to their own experiences to create a series of new works. Over the year, the students have been discovering how a community in Lusanga has reclaimed their land through art.
The collaboration between Lodewijk College and Human Activities will continue in the future. Human Activities is developing a new art platform together with the people of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in the Netherlands. The students of Lodewijk College are involved in all phases of the construction of this White Cube. This new art platform will work according to the same principle as in Lusanga: art enables the community to take back control of its history, land, and future.
