Sinzo Aanza
Congolese artist
Sinzo Aanza (b. 1990 in Goma, DR Congo) lives and works in Kinshasa, DR Congo. Sinzo Aanza is a Congolese artist whose work focuses on the radicality of fiction. In 2007, Luhindi K. Sinzomene created Sinzo Aanza, a radical fiction to whom he assigns the responsibility for the interactions between his creations, first literary and then visual, and the equally frictional social frameworks in which the encounter, discussion and projections around all the other inventions developed by men to frame life, its understanding, organisation and projections become possible. His work has been exhibited at WIELS, Brussels, Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles – where he was nominated in 2018 for the Nouveau Prix Découverte – Museum Rietberg, Zürich, Lubumbashi Biennial and Cité de l’architecture & du patrimoine, Paris.
