Born in Kinshasa, D.R Congo, raised in Germany. Visual artist Benedicta Bibuku (1999) now lives and works in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 

Much of her artistic work revolves around reimagining. Reimagine her role as a black woman in society, as well as the world's perception of her. 
The core of her creations is a general sense of home, belonging, and simplicity that can be felt through her visual images. Bibuku acknowledges the importance of materials in her work while simultaneously exploring new printing methods, reminding the viewer of familiar structure.

The subjects frequently turn their faces away from the camera, placing the lens in an observational position. The camera is an external entity, constantly observing her through the captured subjects, tracking her movements, and striving to gain entry. While she tries to simply exist!
