> Autograph ABP in partnership with CGP London are pleased to announce

> filmmaker Sammy Baloji in the newly renovated Dilston Grove.
>
> Mémoire is an artist's film addressing colonial violence, shattered
> dreams of independence and the postcolonial political fallout that
> exists within the current Democratic Republic of Congo. Mémoire is a
> beautifully crafted and abstracted artist's video shot in
> collaboration with the fellow Congolese performance artist Faustin
> Linyekula. Alongside Mémoire, Autograph ABP have commissioned Baloji
> to make a new large-scale photographic work that documents the exact
> site of Patrice Lumumba’s assassination in January 1961.
>
>
>
> Sammy Baloji’s work shines a powerful spotlight on contemporary
> Congolese reality. It interrogates the abuse of power and its legacy,
> revealing the devastating impact that exploitative cultures have on
> both society and the environment. It calls for greater awareness of
> the local consequences of what is termed ‘development’ and highlights
> the rights of local people. Baloji creates videos that investigate the
> body and, despite restrictions on photographing public sites, he
> produces images of the DR Congo’s urban architecture. His work is
> raising social consciousness and stimulating artistic development in
> the Katanga region, a past and present centre for the colonial and
> post-colonial exploitation of a wealth of minerals essential for
> Western technologies.
>
>
>
> This exhibition was part commissioned by Autograph ABP and is
> accompanied by an artist’s book available at Dilston Grove. The
> staging of Mémoire is supported by the Goethe Institut in Nairobi,
