Une exposition et des projections retrospectives des travaux de Sarah Maldoror en ce moment au Palais de Tokyo et ce en continu jusqu'au printemps 2022.


Narratrice afro-descendante et francophone des guerres d'independance notamment en Angola, les documentaires de Sarah Maldoror sont plus que des temoignages visuels de l'histoire decoloniale d'une partie de l'Afrique australe. Il s'agit de cris d'alarme!

En plus de partager avec elle ma passion pour le Mozambique et l'Angola, la vie commune avec un Afro-lusophone fut longtemps une de mes inclinations personnelles…

Merci au Palais de Tokyo pour ce parcours ideal afin de se familiariser avec la realisatrice.

Multi-sports Pavilion, Luanda - Angola

The contemporary sports pavilion built in 2013 uses modular elements to help offset costs and construction time. The metallic perforated grills help shield the structure from wind and rain while utilizing a passive cooling system from wind currents. These modular grills paired with LED lighting create an iconic effect when lit at night.

Queen Nzinga Mbande (1583-1663), sometimes referred to as Anna Nzinga, was ruler of the Ndongo and M

Queen Nzinga Mbande (1583-1663), sometimes referred to as Anna Nzinga, was ruler of the NdongoandMatamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in what is now Angola.

As the favoured daughter of King Kiluanji of the Ndongo, Nzinga Mbande was brought up witnessing her father’s governance of the kingdom first-hand. He even took her with him when he went to war. Kiluanji made deals with the Portuguese who were expanding their slave trading operations in South West Africa, and this relationship was maintained when her brother Ngola Hari became king. However in 1617 the Portuguese Governor Correia de Sousa launched attacks against the Ndongo kingdom that captured thousands of Mbundu people.

In 1621 when the Portuguese invited the Ndongo king to take part in peace talks, he sent his sister Nzinga Mbande in his place. At her famous first meeting with De Sousa chairs were only provided for the Portuguese, and Mbande was expected to sit on the floor. Instead she commanded one of her servants to go down on all fours and act as her chair. During the negotiations Mbande walked a fine line between preventing the Portuguese from controlling the kingdom as they had done in Kongo, while keeping options open to trade for firearms to strengthen her armies. In this she was successful, although as a condition of the agreement she had to convert to Christianity and was baptised as Anna de Sousa, with the Governor becoming her Godfather.

In 1626 Mbande became Queen of the Ndongo following the death of her brother. Her reign began in peril as the Portuguese went back on their deal with her and declared war, as did other neighbouring tribes. Forced into retreat from her own lands, Mbande led her people south to the kingdom of Matamba, which she attacked, capturing Matamba’s Queen and routing her army. Mbande then installed herself as the new ruler of Matamba, from where she launched a prolonged campaign of guerrilla warfare against the Portuguese which would last for the next 30 years.

Mbande developed a legendary reputation as a warrior, although claims that that she took part in human sacrifice are likely the result of European propaganda and gossip. Accounts that she maintained a personal harem of more than 50 men are also unproven. What is known is that Mbande assembling a diverse army to oppose the Portuguese that included runaway slaves, defecting soldiers, and women. Exploiting European rivalries she made an alliance with the Dutch, which included acquiring her own personal bodyguard of 60 Dutch elite soldiers armed with rifles. Working with the Dutch, Mbande successfully defeated Portuguese armies in 1644, 1646, and 1647. However the Dutch were eventually pushed out of the region in 1648 and Mbanda was forced to carry on the fight alone. While she was never able to completely defeat them, she successfully resisted Portuguese invasion for decades.

Mbande continued personally leading her troops into battle until she was in her sixties, but the long war eventually wore both sides down. In 1657 she finally signed a peace treaty with Portugal. She then spent the rest of her life focused on rebuilding a nation which had been devastated by conflict and over-farming. She died of natural causes in 1663, aged 81. Today Nzinga Mbande is a symbol of Angolan independence, memorialised by numerous statues.

Stories from Another Time

Stories from Another Time

Mario Rui Silva is a largely unknown singer-songwriter from the nineteen-eighties. The album ‘Stories From Another Time’ aims to change that. His music is an unlikely combination of Angolan and Portuguese music with the result something akin to Brazilian tropicalia/ bossa nova. It’s certainly one of the discoveries of the year for…

It somewhat debatable whether this is actually unaccompanied singing, seeing as it would have been accompanied by the swinging of axes, or the ringing of hammers on nails. Work songs were hugely important in many settings, as it allowed workers to keep time and synchronize their tasks. In prison (and in slavery before), men who fell behind the pace could be beaten, and so setting an easy way to keep up made everyone safer. Spirituals also provided an outlet for the longing to escape; they might not leave their bonds behind in this world, but they would be free in the next.

Repost• @journey_to_mictlan Exu and Pomba Gira are the Brazilian spirits of Kimbanda. They originate from Congo and Brazilian Macumba practice, and help us face our shadow-selves through their knowledge, dance and laughter.

We are so honored to have our Kimbanda temple logo represented by the beautiful art of @andrehoraart ❤️❤️
