이 전시는 다음과 같은 소주제로 구성이 되어있습니다.
the phenomenon of intersecting cultures and cultural fusion
the branding and co-opting of cultural references
how art and design is promoted in the international market and the creative global scene
the use of local materials
the impact of art-making on the economic and social condition of local communities
이 전시에 참여한 예술가들은 모두 아프리카 후손들은 아닙니다. 한명만 예외적으로 이탈리안인인 사진작가 Daniele Tamangni 가 그 입니다. 패션사진작가출신인 그의 이미지작업은 아래와 같이 콩고인들의 서구패션을 흉내내 입은 스타일리쉬한 의상을 문화연구적으로 앵글에 담아내었는데 꽤 인상적인 이미지들이었습니다.
