Djofray Makumbu talks about Snap!

“I saw an archive of my dad’s pictures from the 80s and 90s, and I thought ‘this looks magical’. Seeing my family young, it put a smile on my face. When I paint, I listen to Congolese music, so I’m dancing and I’m painting. It puts me in a happy space.”

Artist Djofray Makumbu talks about the inspiration behind his new solo exhibition Snap! which opened at SPACE gallery on Friday 25 October 2024.
