Building a White Cube, an art museum, on a former Unilever plantation in Congo is a collaboration between a cooperative of plantation workers and Dutch artist Renzo Martens to jump-start a local economy. The plantation workers make sculptures that are reproduced in chocolate, and then successfully exhibited in New York. They use the profits from their art sales to buy back the land that was stolen from them and turn it into inclusive and ecological gardens.
