One is here. One could not come.

FROM PAIN TO POWER features two remarkable Congolese artists — Christian Sitili, working in the United States, and Benjamin Mbenga, working from the DR Congo.

Benjamin was unable to travel. He is present through the work, not silenced by a border. Christian stands for them both in Alexandria.

The distance between them is part of what this exhibition is about.

FROM PAIN TO POWER · Now on view through Sept 10 · Alexandria, VA

08/03/2026

On July 30, we chose to let art speak.

On this August 2, we remember the millions of victims of violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

We honor their stories.

We raise awareness about the origins of the minerals that power our everyday lives.

Because knowledge inspires compassion, and compassion leads to action.

The Congo is not alone.

🇨🇩 From Pain to Power. Hope Through Action.

There's a piece of Congo in your pocket. 📱

The phone you're reading this on runs on coltan — a mineral the modern world cannot function without. The Democratic Republic of Congo holds the world's largest reserves.

That stone has carried an enormous cost. It has also carried a people who continue to rise.

FROM PAIN TO POWER brings together two Congolese artists — Christian Sitili and Benjamin Mbenga — to tell the story of resilience through their art. Not as an ending, but as a beginning.

Swipe through, then come see it for yourself. Open now through September 10.

We light a flame for Congo.

Today is Genocost Memorial Day — a day to hold the memory of the millions lost to greed, from Leopold's rubber to today's coltan.

We remember. We refuse to forget. Never again must mean never forgotten.

Join us at FROM PAIN TO POWER to remember together. 532 Yoga Arts & Culture · 500 Montgomery St, Suite 120, Alexandria, VA.

Your voice is your power! 📢 Day 6 of our Genocost campaign is all about Taking Local Action. Advocacy might sound like a big word, but it simply means speaking up for what matters.

You can influence policy for Congo by:
📍 Calling your local representatives to share your concerns.
📍 Sending a respectful email about the human rights situation.
📍 Attending town hall meetings to ask questions.

When we speak together, we cannot be ignored. Let’s make sure Congo stays on the agenda! 🇨🇩💙

📍 Envoyant un e-mail respectueux sur la situation des droits de l'homme.
