Synopsis
White Cube is the highly anticipated new film by artist and filmmaker Renzo Martens (Enjoy Poverty). The film shows the relationship between Western art museums and the violence of the plantation system. Many museums are built with the profits from the plantations. In White Cube, Congolese plantation workers have set a new precedent. They manage to use the concept of the "white cube" to buy back their land from international plantation companies and protect it for future generations.
