About Baudouin Bikoko
My work as an archivist consists in doing research on photography form the 50's till the 70's. I make a lot of lists by photographer. In RDC most people fail to appreciate photography. This is why we created L'art de Vivre. Our mission is to re-appropriate and revalorise photography. Our archive counts thousands of photo negatives of vintage photographers such as: Jean Depara, Ambroise Ngaimoko, Freitas, Diogo, Less ... . The promotion of our founding fathers is a crucial process.
