Pamela Tulizo, Mababu, Koningin ZINGHA, 2024
Instead of victims, we see women taking action—with presence, beauty, pride, and strength. By presenting them as powerful, inspiring role models, the exhibition invites you to reflect on gender equality, humanistic values, and the courage to stand up to injustice. MABABU is both a tribute and an invitation—to question history, acknowledge forgotten stories, and envision new role models. The exhibition features photographic work, specially designed dresses, and a behind-the-scenes film about the artistic process in Goma.
