Boda Boda Lounge: A Selection of Short Films by Another Roadmap Africa Cluster (ARAC)

Boda Boda Lounge is a cross-continental video art festival that takes place simultaneously at more than fifteen spaces across the African continent every two years. Co-initiated by lumbung artist Centre d’art Waza in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the festival’s name is a pidgin word in Kiswahili that means “border”.

Boda Boda Lounge was created out of the belief that video art creates mobility, movement, and meaningful exchange between different contexts, and allows physical boundaries to be transcended and intimate introspection and contemplation to be generated collectively.
