Zones of Emergency

Thierry Nlandu joined Marjetica Potrc at the Zones of Emergency event on April 14 in Bartos Theater. Thierry gave an amazing talk about his project Picture Book on Participatory Democracy: An Art’s Act of Resistance against Facade Democracy that is intended to incite dialog about participatory democracy among the people in and around Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. He offered this description:

The picture book is meant to offer a didactic tool to the different organisations that, in DRC struggle to inform citizens and help them to build a democracy that will refuse to be a façade democracy to offer a better future to this rich nation. A didactic tool, the present picture book is an act of resistance against a democratic process made of elections only and so called free democratic institutions without any democratic praxis or culture.
