Art and activism in Kinshasa

Guest
Paul Shemisi is a photographer, documentary filmmaker and hip-hop poet. His work, whether as a poet or behind the camera, shows his Kinshasa: an artistically flourishing cosmopolitan city with an incomparable inventiveness, the daily weapon of resistance and the engine of resilience for the population. He will offer hip-hop workshops in French at schools in Cologne, which aims to use a foreign language in a playful way and as a tool for empowerment.
Since 2016, Paul Shemisi and Nizar Saleh have formed the collective FAIRE-PART together with the two Belgian-based filmmakers Anne Reijniers and Rob Jacobs. Their common theme is above all decolonisation. Their film FAIRE-PART about art and activism in Kinshasa will be shown this year within school workshops.
