A major event took place this Monday, April 15, 2024, at the University of Kinshasa Museum, in partnership with the University of Liège, addressing the essential issues surrounding heritage and cultural identity. Under the theme "We have gaps," this symposium brought together experts for a joint reflection. One of the highlights was the presentation of a hologram, which is a computer containing objects that are reflected in 3D, and from which one can also find certain information about its works. This device, intended for the University of Kinshasa, where the University Museum is currently benefiting, can also be used in various sciences such as medicine, biology, pharmacy, architecture, etc.
Enriching the visitors' cultural experience, Professor Pierre Hallot, Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Liège, brilliantly orchestrated this demonstration in front of a prestigious audience.
It should be noted that this delegation from the University of Liège, accompanied by the SGR, Professor Marie-Claire YANDJU, also met with the Rector of the inspired hill, Professor Jean-Marie KAYEMBE NTUMBA, to strengthen inter-institutional links and discuss future collaborations.
This demonstration also continued beyond the walls of the Museum the following day, on the esplanade of the Administrative Building and at the BIKEKO market (Arts Market) in the commune of Gombe where contributions were made useful, students, art sellers, and other passers-by made themselves useful by contributing on other objects where gaps exist.
The delegation had to experience a demonstration on the repair of objects, a status with broken feet, part of which exists, and also the repair of a status with a broken and lost arm.
