Collection Africalia Editions [photo]
Africalia Editions & Roularta Books 2007

25 photographers from across the Democratic Republic of the Congo have immortalised the kaleidoscope of daily life in this vast country. Out on the streets and inside the classrooms, at weddings or funerals, in the city and on the land, these records of life and survival attempt to define the identity of a nation.

The story of present-day Congo is told in 192 exceptional photographs, published here for the first time and presented in eight themed sections. Original texts by four brilliant writers from Kinshasa and Lubumbashi accompany the images; This unique photographic portfolio is the first of its kind to appear in the DRC.

Congo Eza. Congo Exists.
