Congo, Close to Home
Seven photographers in Goma document their city through conflict and everyday life.
About the exhibition
Congo, Close to Home brings together seven photographers who live in Goma. Their work records a city living through conflict, while also following the daily experiences that continue around it: music, performance, fashion and community life.
Seen together, these photographs offer an account of Goma from people who call it home.
Goma is a city of more than a million people on Lake Kivu, under a volcano and, since January 2025, under armed occupation. The photographs show the war and the life that continues around it — weddings, markets, dance, football — alongside displacement and loss. We are showing them in Accra because Congo is not far away: from one African city to another, this is close to home.
