Film screening 

Kinshasa

Democratic Republic of Congo 

A special screening on the day before New Year's Eve marks the first time that the film will be shown in Africa. Returning to the historical Place de la Victoire, where part of the film was shot, the screening is an homage to the film’s stars and a tribute to the late Papa Wemba. Included by the late curator Okwui Enwezor in the 2015 Venice Biennale, Fara Fara, 2014, meaning face to face in Lingala, is an ode to Congo’s rich musical culture and the legendary ‘father of Congolese rumba,’ Papa Wemba. The film follows the performative duel, 'fara fara', between two of the DRC’s biggest stars, Koffi Olomide and Werrason.

LORIS CECCHINI and ALESSIO DE GIROLAMO

Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (UABB) in Shenzhen 

Futian railway station 

Shenzhen, China  

Directed by Carlo Ratti, Meng Jianmin, Fabio Cavallucci.

The Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture or UABB is currently the only biennial in the world that is exclusively based on themes of urbanism and urbanization. Located in the quickly urbanizing Pearl River Delta, the biennial is organized collaboratively by the two closely situated cities, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. 2019’s edition focuses on Urban Interactions as its theme that is then divided into two parallel sections, ‘Eyes of the City’ and ‘Ascending City’. Under the latter section, Loris Cecchini presents the work Waterbones (black) + L System, sound produced by Alessio de Girolamo; his instantly recognizable steel modules on a black background resemble organic forms while evoking a scientific and industrial production. The main venue of the biennial, the Futian underground high-speed railway station in Shenzhen, through its exhibition design, succeeds in associating the anonymity of the urban experience with the concept of an urban gateway to a potentially digitally augmented city.
