Premiere of the short film Patrimoine

On Saturday 22 February 2025, the AfricaMuseum is proud to host the premiere of the short film Patrimoine, directed by Blessing Maluba Ngoy. 

""

Patrimoine tackles the discrimination faced by the Black community because of their hair, and celebrates afro-textured hair as a rich symbol of culture and identity. With interwoven accounts from the past and present, the film invites us to reflect on the impact of colonial standards and highlights Afrodescendant resilience and pride. The film will be followed by a short film by Mesomahu, highlighting the situation in Goma.

A hand covering the mouth for silence, two fingers held like a pistol against the temple for violence: this gesture, now a symbol of resistance against oppression, became widespread as a sign of solidarity to denounce the war in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.
