Kriss Munsya shares his path to creative freedom.
About the speaker
Kriss Munsya is a Congolese-born visual artist currently living in Vancouver, BC.
He grew up in Brussels, Belgium in the ‘90s, and that era was very important for him. As a first- generation African immigrant, Munsya was consistently confronted with normalized and often violent racism from a young age. These experiences fed his vision of the world and himself within it.
Munsya is a self-taught artist, with experience in photography, graphic design, music and video production. Art has been present in his life from an early age, but he decided to focus on photography five years because of his increasing involvement in social movements. He perceives photography to be an impactful medium that translates his experiences into open invitations to question the status quo.
