Moving beyond the simple representation of the format and embracing the meaning of the word KIZOMBA, meaning “party” or “celebration" in Kimbundu, a Bantu language of northern Angola, the Kizomba Design Museum S. Paulo projects represent the initial phase in
a strategy to create a tangible, institutional hub for the movement.
Initiated by visual artist Nástio Mosquito and writer/musician Kalaf Epalanga, the Kizomba Design Museum has a mission to host captivating performances and engaging discussions about Kizomba in São Paulo during the opening week of the 35th Biennale of São Paulo.
