Kongi Mbunga

Kongi Mbunga, born in Kinshasa - the vibrant heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo - is a self-taught performance artist based in Brussels, known as Kongi. Kongi’s work combines visual and corporeal languages, merging history and performance to explore the role of Black womxn in African and Western societies. Deeply inspired by historical figures of resistance, particularly the Mino—fierce women warriors who defied colonisation—Kongi’s art seeks to dismantle enduring prejudices and reclaim these often-overlooked narratives.
