Learn more about Art for Justice: Bringing the 2026 Contemporary Art Biennale to Goma, DRC (Link in Bio)
The 2026 Contemporary Art Biennale in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo—an event that will do more than celebrate art; it will amplify the voices of a region that has endured great suffering due to global indifference and corporate greed.
Hosted by Mboko Lopiki and The Tunga Art Lab
The Tunga Art Lab links contemporary art performances to current social crises, focused on the tragic situation imposed on the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo for the last 30 years.
Mboko Lopiki is a dance artist from Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He began his dance career as a member of the Hip Hop dance collective “Spirit of the Dance.” In 2015, he initiated the “Maendeleo Dance Project,” which provided workshops aimed at supervising and reintegrating street children into society. Further driven by the desire and passion to learn different forms of contemporary dance, Mboko then joined the “Inuka Dance Company” in 2016 and trained under the Busara Dance Company. He is currently the choreographer, artistic director, and dancer-performer of the “Heartist Dance Company” in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He is a recipient of the Prince Claus Fonds Seed Award 2022.
