“Designing Dynamism” | DRC: Deeply Rooted in Culture
📆 August 15, 4–6 PM
📍 Mint Museum Randolph
🎟️ FREE

Join us for an immersive evening with Charlotte-based artist, designer, and educator Eric B. Ndelo (@gorilla.ndelo), inspired by “Designing Dynamism” before the exhibition closes August 23.

Through a guided gallery tour, cocktail reception, and personal conversation, Ndelo will share how growing up in Charlotte as the son of Congolese immigrants, and reconnecting with his heritage in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has shaped his creative practice and community work, from DRCharlotte to DRCongo.

Come celebrate culture, creativity, and connection—and bid “Designing Dynamism” farewell. 🇨🇩✨ taken in Mint Museum Randolph by @gorilla.ndelo

s/o to @9thwonder for this wonderful memory. I'm sure I got the tape from Val @olsoulpics, who also turned me on to WKNC 88.1 and the Reasonable Doubt Album that same summer. We've been at the center of culture and community since '96. What a great life!!

1996 was loaded.
Happy 30th Anniversary to @outkast’s “ATLIENS”.
Shouts to @bigboi & @andre3000.
Salute to the mighty Dungeon Family.
One love to @organizednoize
Released on August 27th, 1996.
My favorite OutKast album.

With Congo in the World Cup spotlight, the words of Patrice Lumumba are standing true and It's our duty to keep this same passion for unity and Congo love to help in the fight of "true" freedom for the Congolese. Happy Independence Day. Cha, cha.

We are not alone. Africa, Asia and Free Liberated People from every corner of the world will always be found at the side of the Congolese." - Patrice Emery Lumumba
