A Lussas documentary seminar brought together films exploring resistance, colonial memory and the politics of representation. Olivier Barlet’s account follows a programme curated by Raquel Schefer, including work connected to Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. It considers how archives, experimental forms and collective filmmaking can challenge established ways of seeing rather than simply illustrate political arguments.
Angolan community library 10Padronizada grew from 14 shared books at a pedestrian crossing into a space for reading, education, art workshops and free children’s activities. Co-founder Dago Nível Intelecto travelled to Essen through Goethe-Institut Angola to participate in Manifesta 16 Ruhr alongside cultural practitioners from across Africa. The European nomadic biennial ran from 21 June to 4 October 2026 across former church buildings and several Ruhr cities.
