Congolese curator calls for museums to support civic dialogue

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Congolese curator Henry Bundjoko Banyata has argued that the Institut des musées nationaux du Congo should play a stronger role in civic dialogue and cultural memory, ACP reports. In an interview in Kinshasa, he called for heritage to receive greater political attention and for museums to connect communities with their shared histories. His remarks present a vision for the institution’s public role, rather than an announcement of a new programme.
