Kiluanji Kia Henda

Kiluanji Kia Henda was in residence at LUMA Arles from spring 2019.

Kiluanji Kia Henda was born in Luanda, Angola, in 1979. He lives and works between Luanda and Lisbon. Kiluanji Kia Henda questions, and not without humour, the colonial past of Angola, his native country, as well as the history of the African diasporas in Europe and today’s migration tragedy, while tackling the notions of identity, modernity and political engagement in his artistic practice.
