Contributing to the White Cube arts centre - EUR 40,000 (30 November 2022)
On the Leverville plantation, located on Unilever's first palm oil plantation in central Congo the soil is totally impoverished and depleted. The Human Activities Foundation, together with a community of Congolese plantation (CATPC) workers led by environmental activist René Ngongo, is creating art about their lives and vision on the future. Proceeds from the art works are used to buy back and restore land. The workers regenerate the land by planting trees and developing ecological an egalitarian gardens: the post plantation. Early success came in 2017 with CATPC’s first solo exhibition in New York’s SculptureCenter. The white cube was designed by OMA’s David Gianotten.
