Congolese Plantation Workers Art League (CATPC)
A collective representing modern day Congolese plantation workers that use art as a way to both resist, reclaim and also create a future.
CATPC makes art to generate global awareness about the historic and present-day position of plantation workers. With their art they generate the means necessary to turn depleted plantations back into forests for the benefit of the community, providing local food security and, increasing biodiversity and mitigating global climate change.
Art is the driver leading to autonomous and resilient communities and to the restoration of the sacred forest.
With the income from their art, CATPC has now bought back 500 hectares of depleted plantation land, where they develop regenerative agriculture and restore the forest.
