Soundtrack to a Coupd’État places us the 1960s in Congo, where Patrice Lumumba has become the first prime minister following independence from Belgian colonial rule.

The liberation has led to political unrest, and control over the country's natural resources is at stake. With jazz musicians as their weapons, the United States sends its biggest stars to calm the situation – but it is merely a distraction. Behind the scenes, a CIA-backed coup is underway. Lumumba’s attempt to create a united and independent republic is short-lived. A coup d’état and his subsequent assassination plunge the country, and Africa into crisis.

Mujinga herself has chosen for the film to be screened during the exhibition period. In addition to the story taking place in her country of birth, Congo, the film highlights themes that resonate with her artistic practice: how artistic craftsmanship carry histories, questions of personal and political visibility, and how we might imagine new alternative futures. Mujinga is one of Norway’s leading contemporary artists and has recently exhibited at the

Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim in New York. In 2021, she won one of Europe’s most important art prizes, the Preis der Nationalgalerie, which was accompanied by a monumental solo exhibition at Germany’s national museum, Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, in 2023.
