DR Congo / DATE IDEA

Describing city sounds.

Choose a locally recommended, accessible square for a short daylight break, and each describe three sounds without taking photos.

01 / DR CONGO

Go at your own pace.

DR Congo offers rich inspiration for a date with music, a shared dish, contemporary art or a quiet evening at home.

02 / HOW TO DO IT

Choose a locally recommended, accessible square for a short daylight break, and each describe three sounds without taking photos.
Assess current conditions with local people.
Keep the meetup short and make sure you know how you will get home.

No suitable outdoor spot? Listen to a city report at home and note the sounds.

01 / DR Congo

Choose three recordings of Congolese rumba from different years and listen to how the vocals and guitar change. Say which song you'd like to save.

02 / DR Congo

Find a recipe for pondu and make an adapted version at home using safely sourced leafy greens. Serve it with a side dish.

03 / DR Congo

View work by two contemporary Congolese artists online and tell each other what stands out about the materials, colours and subject matter.
