For this project, artist Sapin Makengele produced a large drawing of his vision on the Congo-Crisis in co-creation with students from the Master course Negotiating Power in Africa (Leiden University) who designed a website with a historical analysis based on the artwork. The artwork shows various detailed storylines that are explored in further student assignments.
