“Mandela was not the only head of state taken in by Koagne. Le king kept snapshots of himself with many a man of power, among them Mobutu Sese Seko and Denis Sassou Nguesso […] He took Mobutu for 15 million dollars. Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso lost 40 million to him. Sassou, Etienne Eyadéma of Togo, several high officials of Gabon, Tanzania and Kenya, a member of the Spanish government and an ex-operative of the Israeli Mossad were bamboozled as well.” – Dominique Malaquais (Blood Money: A Douala Chronicle).

Bring Back Lost Love by Kemang Wa Lehulere (Göteborg Konsthall, 2021)

Store/African Indie Books/Kemang Wa Lehulere

Product Details

Kemang Wa Lehulere explores the relationship between personal and collective histories, and how South Africa's violent past continues to haunt the present. Using found and repurposed materials, chalk, personal memories and texts, his poetic and layered works speak of suppression, unfulfilled dreams and voices that have been silenced or erased from official historiography.

Published on the occasion of the exhibition at Göteborgs Konsthall, Sweden, 2021.
