SUBVERSES China in Mozambique
SUBVERSES China in Mozambique gives an insight into China’s presence in Mozambique, which is already visible in Maputo’s cityscape. Many Chinese are investing and living in Africa. The two most well-known Chinese projects are the National Football Stadium and the new airport in Maputo. SUBVERSES China in Mozambique gives a voice to Slam poets, construction workers and Chinese who are telling their reverse stories about these investments.
