Brakin Brazzaville-Kinshasa Visualizing the Visible

A group of scholars studied the various manifestations of public space by investigating the example of the booming central African capitals Brazzaville and Kinshasa. BRAzzaville-KINshasa, viewed as one metropolis in this study, became the ideal lens to understand the urban landscape. These visual indicators of urban identity are collected and recorded on maps of the city. BRAKIN is a research project of the Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, initiated and directed by Wim Cuyvers, with Tina Clausmeyer, Dirk Pauwels, and Kristien Van den Brande as researchers.
