About this Event
Congo Glitch Series
Film screening and conversation
Free with RSVP, limited seating
The Congo Glitch Series explores moments when systems fail—when the map no longer aligns with the land, and data cannot contain memory. Here, the glitch is not an error, but mahindule: a shift, a transformation, a passage.
In Zamani 20min. Time unfolds as a living continuum, where past and future coexist beyond linear chronology.
In Ndjimu in 30 min. The camera descends underground, revealing extraction not only as a material process but also as a rupture between worlds.
Across both films, the glitch becomes a space of recalibration—where dominant logics of measurement and control encounter what they cannot translate.
What happens when the land does not follow the map?
What emerges when data fails to hold life?
What becomes visible in the moment of rupture?
Mwalimu Petna Ndaliko Katondolo is a pathbreaking filmmaker, memory keeper, and storyteller, and founder of Yole!Africa, a center for arts and education in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Ndaliko’s work is recognized for its Africafuturist poetics, engaging history as a living force to address contemporary social, political, and cultural realities.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with the director moderated by filmmaker and media artist, Ainslee Alem Robson.
