Antoine Goho’s jazz painting prompts a discussion of musical memory

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

ACP reports on critic John Bongenya’s reading of Antoine Goho’s painting Bangolo Kahin Jazz Band during a gallery visit in Kinshasa. The acrylic work depicts three musicians from behind, placing a saxophone between two drums. Bongenya interprets its contrasting colours, textured surface and shared stance as a visual expression of musical memory and collective experience. The report considers how painting can carry African cultural histories through rhythm, gesture and material.
