Created in 2021, “Banza-mambu” was last exhibited at Netwerk Aalst during the group exhibition “New Songs for Old Cities”. Based on a traditional Kongo chair, yet made in steel, it invites you to reflect on important issues as sitting on this chair obliges one to look upwards. Just as the enormous hair braid of “Nketu-Tungu” reaches to the sky, the sculpture pursues a connection with the transcendental. “Banza” is kiyombe for “to reflect”, while “mambu” means “problems” – once more stressing the questioning nature of Ngamba’s practice.
