Maono

MAONO : an exchange project for the exploration of futures

Three years in a row six artists from Lubumbashi together with 24-30 young adults (from Belgium and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) explore and create a variety of images of the future in a cultural exchange that takes place in the province of Katanga.

Roadbook and Missions

The Roadbook bundles 21 missions for collecting, exploring and creating images of the future.  These missions stimulate observations, analysis, creatvity and a critical attitude. They provide the red thread for the cultural exchange and encourage long-term thinking.

 

 

MAONO 12-13-14 Catalogue

The catalogue of the Maono collection of images of the future produced by artists from Lubumbashi, was updated after every exchange period. Besides entries on each of the 16 artists and the work they created for Maono, the catalogue also includes an impression of the way the young adults taking part in the exchange, used their Roadbook. 

The catalogue exists in French and Dutch and is free to download.
