Developed under the auspices of the Belgian colonial state, this multimedia spectacular featured sketches, songs, a magic lantern light show, and a satirical &#8220;reverse ethnography&#8221; film of Belgian culture as narrated by Kisimba. This article traces Kisimba&#8217;s trajectory through state-sponsored shows such as Changwe Yetu, Spectacles Populaires, and the idiosyncratic Mu Kongo &#8211; Mu Belgique and argues that staged performance, and the international mobility that this art form inherently enables, served as a contested space in which Central Africans sought to redefine colonial hierarchies and through which they envisioned new professional horizons. The overlooked histories of Kisimba and late colonial African artists like him, this article suggests, offer new insights into African cultural negotiations and global outlooks before independence.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:35:40 +02:00</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
