Cercle d'Art des Travailleurs
de Plantation Congolaise
(Congolese Plantation Workers Art League)
SculptureCenter is pleased to announce the ��rst exhibition. Creating
sculptures with cacao as a primary material, the artists that comprise
the CATPC are plantation workers who harvest raw material for
international companies. In the Congo, as elsewhere, plantation
workers are grossly underpaid for their contribution to global industry,
whether to the $100 billion chocolate industry or to the production
of palm oil, broadly used in common household products. The Congolese
plantation laborers cannot actually afford to live off of the wages they
receive for their work and survive without basic amenities such as clean
water and electricity. By using material sourced from cacao plantations
worldwide instead to make artworks, the members of CATPC can occupy
another place in the global value chain, one normally reserved for middle
class artists.
