Performance + lecture by Bram Borloo & Ndaku Ya La vie Est Belle

Ndaku Ya La vie Est Belle

Ndaku Ya La Vie Est Belle, founded by Eddy Ekete, is an artistic cooperative and laboratory established in Kinshasa, since 2018. It is home to the KINACT festival, an annual event held each August that brings together international performance artists. KINACT's mission is to raise awareness about environmental and social issues while engaging the Kinois (inhabitants of Kinshasa) by bringing art to the streets for those who lack access to traditional visual art events. In addition to being a vibrant carnival of living sculptures crafted from waste materials, KINACT serves as a unique educational program.
