Alexandre Kyungu explores the fascinating intersection of urban cartography and body scarification in his work. He draws inspiration from the Lingala term "Nzoloko," which signifies scarification, a practice deeply rooted in African identity and used to mark ethnicity and origin. Kyungu's art intentionally combines scarification and mapping to address issues of accessibility, mobility, and the human experience in urban spaces.
