The Matriarch: Unravelled Threads
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.
Exhibition produced in partnership with Fonderie Darling.
The establishment is certified “partially accessible” by Kéroul.
