CATPC – ‘Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise’ or ‘Congolese Plantation Workers Art League’ in full – is an art cooperative of plantation workers from Lusanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. The organization was founded in collaboration with renowned environmental activist René Ngongo in 2014. With the proceeds from their art, CATPC aims to secure hundreds of hectares of former plantation land for future generations. In the middle of this land, they have built a museum: the White Cube.
This program was developed in collaboration with CATPC and Human Activities as part of the White Cube program in the Netherlands. The program aims to decolonize not only the art world but also the plantations that have financed the art world. The program is supported by the Mondriaan Fund.
