With the new edition "Lumumba Pop Art," Fred Ebami offers a unique and vibrant portrait of the young Isaïe Tasumbu Tawosa who became the great Patrice Lumumba, a figure of Congolese independence. This creation, inspired by the colorful and committed style of pop art, restores the entire identity and symbols of the Congolese people. A true tribute to Patrice Lumumba, now permanently integrated into the United Souls collection. Born on July 2, 1925, in Onalua, Patrice Emery Lumumba rose to the rank of "evolved" in a Belgian Congo marked by paternalism. Converted to Pan-Africanism after returning from a conference in Accra in December 1958, he won the May 1960 elections and became Prime Minister. On June 30, 1960, his speech on Congo's independence day denounced Belgian colonialism and provoked the anger of King Baudouin. A few days later, the Congo crisis erupted: mutiny, secessions, foreign interference. Lumumba tried to save his country coveted for its immense resources. He was eventually arrested and executed on the night of January 16-17, 1961, along with Okito and Mpolo. The bodies were buried, exhumed, and dissolved in acid. In June 2022, Belgium returned a tooth of Lumumba kept by a mercenary to the Congo. A creation by the artist Marie-Claire Laffaire
