Lumumba’s Iconography in the Arts
Paperback || Matthias De Groof || Leuven University Press
It is no coincidence that a historical figure such as Patrice Emery Lumumba, independent Congo’s first prime minister, who was killed in 1961, has lived in the realm of the cultural imaginary and occupied an afterlife in the arts.

The Paleev Collection
Ilya Paleev and Vladimir Paleev, collector and custodian
2019 || Paperback || Sjeng Scheijen || Pegasus, Uitgeverij En
