Decolonising the Panorama of Congo: A Virtual Heritage Artistic Research

This research, part of the FilmEU – European Universities Alliance for Film and Media Arts initiative, investigates the 1911-1912 Panorama of Congo. This panoramic painting, displayed at the 1913 World Exhibition in Ghent, represents Belgian Congo and has been stored for nearly 90 years. Thanks to international collaboration and funding from the European Union, the painting was digitized for public access through virtual reality, exhibitions, and a website. The project highlights the contested heritage and digital preservation efforts, led by Professors Leen Engelen and Victor Flores.
