The Goethe-Institut Angola celebrated its birthday in June/July 2024 with a 6-week international festival in a cinema that had been empty for years. The Cine São Paulo is one of many iconic buildings in the capital Luanda. A city that is constantly growing and decaying at the same time. The temporary reopening and transformation of the cinema into a cultural center enabled and promoted a remarkable and multifaceted range of German-Angolan co-productions, debates, film screenings, concerts, comedy and poetry slam shows, semba dance classes, workshops for children, performances, dance, theater, video art – a snapshot of current young Angolan art.

The exhibition in the Citadel shows an excerpt from the festival.

Conception of the festival in Luanda: Julia Schreiner and Ngoi Salucombo

Curator of the exhibition at ZAK: Jamil Parasol Osmar

Production: Goethe-Institut Angola

 

With the kind support of the district development funds of the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion.
