Description



Book Synopsis



A bilingual chronicle of a sweeping artistic practice that relates history, memory and identity to the lived diasporic experience.

Presented in French and English, this is the first monograph dedicated to Moridja Kitenge Banza (b. 1980), a Canadian visual artist of Congolese origin.

Known for dynamic works shaped by the places where he has lived and worked, Kitenge
Banza's art is a subversive blend of reality and fiction that questions and challenges discourses of power while opening new spaces for marginalized histories.

Chronicling a multidisciplinary practice that includes painting, photography, video, drawing, and
installation, this volume presents a comprehensive outline of Kitenge Banza's artistic practice. Texts by curators, historians, and theorists focus on the geopolitics, culture, religion, and iconography of the artist's lived context, accompanied by more than 100 artworks.

Whether confronting the impacts of resource extraction in his native Democratic Republic of Congo or in his adopted home of Québec, or recasting histories shaped by religion, violence, and colonialism, Kitenge Banza's work explores how his personal narrative is intertwined with the past. His reappropriation of the codes, customs, and conventions associated with religious,
cultural, political, social, and economic systems serve to underscore the contradictions that construct his identities.

La chronique bilingue d'une vaste pratique artistique qui relie histoire, mémoire et identité à une expérience diasporique vécue.

Présentée en français et en anglais, cette monographie est la première à être consacrée à Moridja Kitenge Banza (né en 1980), un artiste visuel canadien d'origine congolaise.

Connu pour ses oeuvres dynamiques façonnées par les lieux où il a vécu et travaillé, l'art de Kitenge Banza est un alliage subversif de réalité et de fiction qui met en cause et au défi les discours du pouvoir tout en ouvrant de nouveaux espaces pour les récits marginalisés.

Documentant une pratique multidisciplinaire qui inclut la peinture, la photographie, la vidéo, le dessin et l'installation, le présent ouvrage propose un portrait d'ensemble de la pratique artistique de Kitenge Banza. Il réunit des textes de commissaires, d'historien-ne-s et de spécialistes portant sur la géopolitique, la culture, la religion et l'iconographie issues du cadre de vie de l'artiste, et illustrés par plus de 100 oeuvres.

Confrontant les impacts de l'extraction de ressources, que ce soit dans la République démocratique du Congo où il est né ou au Québec, sa terre d'adoption, ou reconfigurant des récits façonnés par la religion, la violence et le colonialisme, Kitenge Banza explore dans son travail la manière dont son récit personnel est lié à son passé. Sa réappropriation des codes, des coutumes et des conventions associés à des systèmes religieux, culturels, politiques, sociaux et économiques sert à mettre en lumière les contradictions qui construisent ses identités.
