In addition, Yangambi organizes and produces also events, advises and devises (new) concepts in the field of African art & culture. Dady Kiyangi is the force behind Yangambi and he aims to give the general public the opportunity to get in touch with the rich, contemporary art & culture of the African continent. He focuses on strengthening the development of African art & culture. The logo of Yangambi reflects a family tree for African art & culture. In other words, heritage! But what is the story behind it? When Dady Kiyangi was in search of a company name, he got inspired, several years ago, by a wonderful documentary about Congo River and the beautiful city Yangambi in the Democratic Republic Congo. During the colonial era, Yangambi was home to a research institutions specialized in the herbarium (a systemically arranged collection of dried plants) and agronomic science. Today there is a biosphere reserve under the United Nations flag. The documentary showed the hidden beauty of the rich and diverse country where he was born. His passion lies in art & culture and the idea in preserving that, is important to him. And this inspired him the most. African arts & culture is our heritage!
