Mallory Lowe Mpoka is a queer Cameroonian-Belgian artist and cultural worker based in Tiohtiá:ke (Montreal). Working across photography, textiles, and ceramics, Mpoka’s practice delves into the intricate intersections of migration, cultural trauma, self-image, memory, and environmental colonialism, engaging with these themes through a deeply personal and political lens.
A recipient of the Malick Sidibé Prize at the African Biennale of Photography (2022) and the New Generation Photography Award from the National Gallery of Canada (2024), Mpoka’s work has been exhibited in both national and international contexts, including at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Gardiner Museum, Villa Romana in Florence, 1-54 NYC, Savvy Contemporary Berlin, and the Aga Khan Museum, among others.
Her debut artist book, co-published with Clark Center and Pièce Jointe, marks a significant milestone in her practice. In 2025, Mpoka will be a fellow at Black Rock Senegal, where she will continue to expand her artistic inquiry during a prestigious residency.
