Hadassa Ngamba

Documenting Ngamba’s first performance, “Nketu-Tungu” (kiyombe for ‘an empowered woman”) in 2018. The artists states: “I wanted to initiate a discussion with the people from Lubumbashi, so I created a space for dialogue with this performance. I had a 66 centimeter long braid in my hair. Traditionally worn, I had it upright and wrapped in a local organic yarn (singa brassa). During the performance I started a conversation with many people. Many were very curious about my performance, which resulted in a large crowd. The police feared disruptions, but of course everything went well.”
