Kapela takes an exceptional position with his life and work within the artworld of Luanda. He regards his work as important issue in the context of the reconciliation between European and African cultures as well as for the re-membering of a fractured and amputated society after the years of war. He became a role model with his unique way of art-production through a combination of disparate objects and the creation of new contexts. In the last years, he has emerged in the context of the Trienal de Luanda, and his artwork has also been shown in the exhibitions Check List – Luanda Pop at Venice Biennial 2007 and Luanda Smooth and Rave in Bordeaux.
