A Window into Congo’s Creativity: Emerging Talent Showcased on Souvenirs from Earth
Congo RE-Vue is a dynamic showcase dedicated to highlighting the vibrant talent of the next generation of Congolese artists. This project focuses on young Congolese photographers who, with fresh eyes and a forward-thinking approach, are redefining how their country is viewed both within its borders and beyond. Their vision is one of progress, creativity, and optimism.
At the heart of Congo RE-Vue is a dedication to contemporary Congolese culture, seen through the lens of photographers, for the first edition and in future editions including filmmakers, who are reshaping the narrative of their country. Curated by Cecilia Zoppelletto and produced by ZOPMEDIA in collaboration with ZEKE and Preston Witman Productions, Congo RE-Vue is an exploration of the artistic innovation coming out of Congo today, crafted with care and pride.
This is more than a broadcast exhibition—it is a movement, a statement, and an invitation to experience Congo through the eyes of its next generation.
This curated exhibition is presented in collaboration with Souvenirs from Earth, the first cable TV station entirely dedicated to contemporary art. Broadcast 24/7 across major TV networks in France—Orange 221, Bouygues 133, and Free 211—Souvenirs from Earth transforms the flat screen into a living canvas of contemporary creativity.
The station is renowned for showcasing the work of emerging and established artists alike, offering unparalleled visibility to creators in the realms of video art and avant-garde filmmaking. Launching on October 11th from 8 to 9 PM Paris time, Congo RE-Vue will be a standing appointment every Friday with additional broadcasts occurring randomly, a core feature of the channel’s programming style.
By presenting Congo RE-Vue through the television channel Souvenirs from Earth, we bring Congolese artists into the spotlight, giving them a global stage
