Moridja Kitenge Banza — painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography

Photo: Jean-Michel Séminaro

Between reality and fiction, my work moves across painting, sculpture, installation, video, and photography to examine history, memory, and identity in the places I inhabit and have inhabited.
I deliberately blur the true and the invented to unsettle dominant narratives and open spaces where other stories can exist.
