Edition 2025 <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Parade Kinshasa – 03 & 04\/07
\nNest Mont Ngafula – 30 & 31\/07, 01, 06, 07 & 08\/08<\/p>\n

Park Po\u00e9tik Kinshasa is now in its 3rd edition and once again filles the streets of Matete with poetry.<\/p>\n

A new dimension this year was the street residency in the Mont-Ngafula district, where Vanessa Mbuyi \u2013 coordinator of Park Po\u00e9tik Kinshasa \u2013 stayed for a while. Through new artistic initiatives and a cine-debate inspired by the documentary on the 2023 edition, Park Po\u00e9tik Kinshasa aims to continue inspiring local authorities to invest more deeply in art and culture.<\/p>\n

\n

A bit of history<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1st edition<\/h4>\n

Park Po\u00e9tik Kinshasa was founded in 2023 on the initiative of visual artist Daniel Toya. who, following his residency with Park Po\u00e9tik in 2022, succeeded in mobilizing a collective of artists in Kinshasa. Together, they organized two vibrant festival days, where street performers and trained artists surprised and delighted audiences with a wide array of artistic and poetic interventions. Their mission: to put the creative disciplines in the spotlight, break down prejudices about artistic professions and thus strengthen the Congolese cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the first edition, in 2023, local artists from the Matete neighborhood took center stage. They showcased a wide range of artworks and performances: Plam\u2019s Art painted a powerful live portrait reflecting the challenges faced by the Congolese people; Vainqueur, a robot costume made from recycled materials, came to life thanks to Daniel Toya; Thierry Matouz performed a participatory Michael Jackson\u2013style dance; Peter and his band delivered a vibrant rap concert, and Clovis and his percussion group brought rhythm and energy to the streets. Meanwhile, a documentary<\/a> was created remotely in Brussels, directed by Vanessa Mbuyi.<\/p>\n

2nd edition<\/h4>\n

A year later, in 2024, poetry once again flowed through the streets of Matete. This time marked the birth of the Charrette Po\u00e9tik: a go-kart-like creation, both a carrier of wonder and a symbol of unity. A mobile poetry vehicle with the ambition to infuse all of Kinshasa with creativity. This time, Vanessa was there in person to meet the artists face-to-face.<\/p>\n
