Inside Congo: Photographer reveals life between volcanoes and war - Video
Congolese visual artist Elisha Abumba has presented his photographic project Between Lava and Guns at the Goethe-Institut in Kigali.
His work offers a personal yet political portrait of life in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The region is shaped by both armed conflict and volcanic landscapes.
Drawing on his own upbringing, Abumba’s work documents everyday survival in an environment marked by recurring violence and natural danger. Through photography, installations and sketches, the exhibition turns lived experience into visual testimony, focusing on resilience, identity and the lives of people displaced by war.
