Great news: A Kiripi Katembo Foundation has been formed, in honour and loving memory of his great work!
I'm honoured to be appointed the Curator of the Kiripi Katembo Foundation - created by his family in order to protect and preserve the brilliant work and heritage Kiripi left behind. The Foundation, directed by the Familiy Siku, finds that the realisation of the foundation, is a crucial and important step, not only for his family, but for the Congolese people and the international public.
The Foundation will take care to fill the void his death left and will ensure that all his projects are actualised. A complete catalogue redrawing the life and work of Kiripi Katembo Siku is currently being made and will be available at the Foundation in due time. Besides this the foundation is also establishing a database for the persons interested in his work. The Foundation has also appointed Mrs. Jeanne Marie Tosolini as contact person for all matters regarding Kiripi Katembo Siku in Belgium and Hélène Ballis for France. A new website will soon be online.
