Heritage
Memories
Djofray Makumbu is a British Congolese artist and animator based at Studio Voltaire. He has made several short films including award winning ‘Hello Mr Officer’. Memories is Djofray’s new documentary film, and is presented as a glimpse through the eyes of the artist, exploring the Congolese experience of two different generations. The film uses archival footage alongside location filming in Canning Town and newly filmed and recorded interviews. These scenes are joyful family gatherings and reflections from Djofray’s friends and family, who he often collaborates with.
