For Colard, the term \u003ci\u003eCongoville\u003c\/i\u003e encompasses the tangible and intangible urban traces of the colony, not on the African continent but in 21st-century Belgium: a school building, a park, imperial myths, and citizens of African descent. In the exhibition and this adjoining publication, the concept Congoville is the starting point for 15 contemporary artists to address colonial history and ponder its aftereffects as black flâneurs walking through a postcolonial city.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDue to the multitude of perspectives and voices, this book is both a catalogue and a reference work comprised of artistic and academic contributions. Together, the participating artists and invited authors unfold the blueprint of \u003ci\u003eCongoville\u003c\/i\u003e, an imaginary city that still subconsciously affects us, but also encourages us to envision a decolonial utopia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions by Pieter Boons, Sandrine Colard, Filip De Boeck, Bas De Roo, Nadia Yala Kisukidi, Sorana Munsya \u0026amp; Léonard Pongo, Herman Van Goethem, Sara Weyns, Nabilla Ait Daoud\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParticipating artists: Sammy Baloji, Bodys Isek Kingelez, Maurice Mbikayi, Jean Katambayi, KinAct Collective, Simone Leigh, Hank Willis Thomas, Zahia Rahmani, Ibrahim Mahama,  ngela Ferreira, Kapwani Kiwanga, Sven Augustijnen, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Elisabetta Benassi, Pélagie Gbaguidi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebooks English\/Dutch and French available\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leuven University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47779818897559,"sku":"9789462702363","price":4128.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789462702363.webp?v=1778039694","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/congoville-contemporary-artists-tracing-colonial-tracks-hedendaagse-kunstenaars-bewandelen-koloniale-sporen-9789462702363","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
