Christian Nyampeta

Rwandan-born Dutch artist Christian Nyampeta, who works between Amsterdam and New York, organizes programs, exhibitions, screenings, performances, and publications conceived as hosting structures for collective feeling, cooperative thinking, and mutual action. His project “Gwangju Lessons”, developed in collaboration with curator Binna Choi following their engagement with the 2016 Gwangju Biennale, revisits the People’s Art School within the 5·18 Archives to rematerialize its legacy as a resource for remembering, and (un)learning from, the May 18 Democratic Uprising across geographies and generations.
