Style Congo: Heritage & Heresy examines the politics of cultural representation and appropriation through contemporary artistic and architectural interventions, as well as historical materials primarily sourced from the CIVA collection in Brussels. Starting with the Art Nouveau movement and stemming from the exhibition of the same name, this book traces the portrayal of the Congo in international and colonial exhibitions in Belgium, France, and the Congo between 1885 and 1958.
