Located on th e banks of the Congo River\, the Yangambi INERA Research Station was a boo ming scientific centre in its heyday. Today\, it is a mix of jungle and ru in\, where questions of knowledge\, power over it\, and access to it linge r.\nThe Tree of Authenticity is a film by Tate collection artist Sammy Ba loji. It recounts the story of two scientists\, Paul Panda Farnana and Abi ron Beirnaert\, who worked at Yangambi between 1910 and 1950. Through thei r voices\, the film looks at how colonialism harmed both people and the en vironment\, and how that damage is still felt today.\nDoors open at 17.00. The screening starts promptly at 17.30 and will be followed by a Q&\;A with the artist.\nBook here\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2025/10/ToA_Stills_4K__1.1.5_Carine_Harmand.width-1440.jpg CATEGORIES:Film LOCATION:RIBA North\, 21 Mann Island\, Liverpool Waterfront\, Liverpool\, L 3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.403724;-2.99357 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=21 Mann Island\, Liverpool Waterfront\, Liverpool\, L3 1BP\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIU S=100;X-TITLE=RIBA North:geo:53.403724,-2.99357 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251026T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
