For Colard, the term Congoville encompasses the tangible and intangible urban traces of the colony, not on the African continent but in 21st-century Belgium: a school building, a park, imperial myths, and citizens of African descent. In the exhibition and this adjoining publication, the concept Congoville is the starting point for 15 contemporary artists to address colonial history and ponder its aftereffects as black flaneurs walking through a postcolonial city.  Due to the multitude of perspectives and voices, this book is both a catalogue and a reference work comprised of artistic and academic contributions. Together, the participating artists and invited authors unfold the blueprint of Congoville, an imaginary city that still subconsciously affects us, but also encourages us to envision a decolonial utopia.

De impuls voor de tentoonstelling was historisch onderzoek naar de voormalige Koloniale Hogeschool Middelheim, die aan het gelijknamige museumpark grenst. Het museum werd opgericht toen de hogeschool, waar de toekomstige koloniale elite opgeleid werd, nog actief was. Het gefundeerde zelfonderzoek naar dit koloniale en imperialistische verleden, waarvan de rijke catalogus met nieuwe kennisproductie eveneens blijk geeft, is een essentieel onderdeel van het streven naar dekolonisatie.\u003cbr\u003e Merel Van Tilburg, Editie 213 september-oktober 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe exhibition catalogue of Congoville offers a striking example of a postcolonial inventory jointly undertaken by artists, curators and critics. Invented by the curator Sandrine Colard, the very title of the exhibition, which took place in the former premises of the Ecole des Administrateurs Coloniaux, refers to an inventory of the traces of Belgium’s imperialist past in the country’s geography. The works by the fifteen invited artists are exhibited alongside a major archival project, and fully embrace these specifications.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNinon Chavoz, Critique d’art, 57 | Autumn\/Winter 2021 https:\/\/journals.openedition.org\/critiquedart\/85502\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLe catalogue de l’exposition Congoville offre ainsi le saisissant exemple d’un travail d’inventaire postcolonial, conjointement pris en charge par des artistes, des curateurs et des critiques.
