UG Fellow Mallory Lowe Mpoka presents The Matriarch: Unraveled Threads at Fonderie Darling

2024-2025 Post Image UG Fellow Mallory Lowe Mpoka presents her work at Fonderie Darling as part of MOMENTA Biennale 2025.

Drawing from the family archives passed down by her grandmother, Mallory Lowe Mpoka retraces the history of her ancestors and, more broadly, that of a people marked by the violence surrounding the Cameroonian War of Independence in the 1950s and 1960s. Lowe Mpoka invites us to immerse ourselves in her cultural, familial, and artistic heritage as she revisits and reinvents her history. At the heart of the exhibition, a textile installation weaves together an intimate and collective history, intertwining past, present, and future narratives, true and imagined.

This exhibition is presented by MOMENTA Biennale d’art contemporain and produced in partnership with Fonderie Darling.
