Kim Mupangilaï's Visual Language
The exhibition asks how ideas of home, often assumed to be private, stable, or fixed, are in fact shaped by displacement, migration, and inherited histories. For Mupangilaï, home is not a resolved location but an ongoing negotiation between cultural inheritances. Born in Belgium to a Congolese father and Belgian mother, she grew up removed from parts of her ancestry. Design became a way to navigate that distance: to reconstruct meaning through material, to give form to questions that could not always be answered directly.
