The image captures an outdoor gathering in Kundu 1, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Centrally, a male individual stands behind a wooden table, speaking into a black microphone held in his right hand. He is dressed in a dark jacket over a light-colored collared shirt. On the wooden table, a rectangular object covered in white fabric with faint dark heart and light green leaf patterns rests; it resembles either a mattress or a wrapped coffin. The front of the table displays handwritten text that appears to read "KASTOR - MASEROPUNY". An African drum, dark brown with light-colored geometric designs, lies on its side on the dirt ground in front of the table, to the left of the speaker. Approximately eight adult males are seated on wooden benches or chairs to the left and right of the table, facing the speaker. Their attire includes jackets and shirts. Several individuals hold books or papers in their hands, and one man on the right has a light-colored fedora-style hat resting on his lap. The scene is set under the large, leafy canopy of a tree with both green and light brown foliage. In the background, to the right, a structure with a mud-brick wall and a thatched roof is visible. The ground is unpaved, consisting of packed dirt. The individuals present are engaged in listening to the central speaker.
