The Unruly Project is inherently collaborative and participatory. Here you will find a host of research projects and associational activities initiated both within Europe and the African continent, which focus on the challenges of urban (trans)formations in the 21st century and take interest in transforming how we study politics in the ‘global South’

The Unruly Project finds inspiration far beyond scientific research and academic outputs. Click here for a quick tour of a few of our personal favourites among some of the most influential artists from the DRC and Ivory Coast.

Their art connects to city life and politics, but also to a bunch of transversal aesthetic and social movements of the past 80 years.

This tab is mainly for fun…. But the playlist we compiled in here will spark your imagination, teach you a thing or two on the Congo’s and Ivory Coast’s amazing musical repertoires, and, perhaps, prompt you to try out a few dance steps.
