Pathy Tshindele belongs to a new generation of Congolese artists who have gained increasing recognition in Kinshasa over the last five years.Tshindele initiated the ‘Kinshasa Wenze Wenze’, an event that involved producing sculptural works from recovered wrecked cars found across the city as a way of addressing the deteriorating state of the city, and the difficulties faced by its inhabitants. His canvas depictions present synecdoches for a citizenship of the world, in direct response to the monolithic oppression of race, nationality or gender.
