Église: Unfolding Views
Come and marvel at the spectacle as live painting and musical soundscaping merge in a performance inspired by brotherhood, culture and community.
This multi-sensory performance is conceptualised by brothers Loner Muaka, a musician, and Aziah Lusala, an artist/painter.
The name of the work comes from their childhood experience of being raised in a Congolese church, influenced and brought up by the community.
Aziah Lusala is a multidisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker working across sculpture, painting and moving image. His work has been exhibited at leading venues including the Saatchi Gallery, HSBC HQ, and the Barbican Centre.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, he has also studied at Sotheby’s Institute of Art and is currently continuing his practice at Turps Art School. His work centers on bringing visibility and dignity to marginalised communities, particularly those criminalized by systemic oppression. Through his art, he challenges harmful stereotypes and highlights the resilience, loyalty, and humanity of individuals often overlooked by society.
Loner Muaka is a multi-instrumentalist and producer whose cinematic sound fuses African fusion, electronic music and jazz with experimental textures and deep emotional weight. Built around samplers and synthesizers, his work explores dislocation, memory and the surreal edges of reality.
Having collaborated with Bakar, Benjamin Clementine, Little Simz, Greentea Peng and Kongo Astronauts, Muaka moves fluidly between production, sound design, and film scoring. A recent trip to Congo saw him recording with local musicians, grounding his evolving sound in ancestral rhythms and futuristic sonics.
