Returning to Luanda, Angola in 2015 offered the artist the opportunity to do her studies about blackness and the black body. In most of her artwork she uses the female body as the most important sound in her voice as an artist.
Due to a lack of libraries and art books in Angola, during the economic crisis in 2015 the artist started to use humans and their stories as her source of information, inspiration and research. Her research was done in slums and dangerous places to be confronted by poverty, better understand poverty and to hear the voice of the people without fear. Other practices explored by the artist are video art, installations and performances.
‘A storyteller using art as a communication tool that manages to tell more than my words will ever do. Art provokes, educates and empowers without pity. It is a powerful tool and it is in the hands of this generation to create value for our government, organizations and foundations to put artists as an integral component to the further development of culture, economics, feminism, and individual development in Africa. What makes me uncomfortable in our society is what helps me create an artwork that deserves to exist as I follow the revolution that happens in my mind when I am not satisfied with a situation that affects human rights.’

Lola Keyezua
Beautiful People Know
Is a video installation exhibiting a young woman that slowly combs and braids her hair as a ritual to explore her identity and protect her natural hair due a long hair care ritual.
She sews book pages to her hair and tries to protect them by hiding it in a braided hairstyle while the book pages of wisdom and awareness are crushed into small hair buns. Her hair care is slow and requires patience from the viewer to connect to the fear of not being accepted in our society, with the feeling of resistance, with the feeling of hair as a political act and with the feeling of hair as the root of identity, BLACK IDENTITY.
Beautiful people know …
The audio is from a 70´s hair commercial from Afro Sheen. Online posted as “Afro Sheen Ad 4″
