The MEG partners with the Black Movie festival to present “The Tree of Authenticity,” a film by Sammy Baloji that examines the impact of Belgian colonization in Congo and its connections to the current climate crisis. Through a rich auditory and visual meditation, this three-part documentary uncovers the history of an abandoned research center and historical figures like Paul Panda Farnana and Abiron Bernaert, along with a three-century-old tree that has become a national symbol.
