2020MALLORY LOWE MPOKA This poster was part of the exhibition Mémoire de l’avenir (2023): an urban poster exhibition representing the works of established and emerging artists. This project was born from a desire to create connections between different generations of Quebec artists. The exhibition, curated by Camille Larivée, was made up of 3 pairs, each comprising an emerging artist and an established artist. These encounters allow us to immerse ourselves in Quebec art, in our everyday lives, and to reflect on the progression of certain themes in today's artistic imagination. From July to September 2023, these posters were exhibited in the streets of Montréal · Tiohtià:ke on Publicité Sauvage’s palisades. Sanctuaries are at the heart of Mallory Lowe Mpoka's artistic practice, a subject also found in her work Threads Unravelling, part of the photographic series What is this home that is home that is not home (2020). Seated on Verdun beach, the two black people in this photograph are embracing in red clay. The red clay refers to Mallory's father's homeland, Cameroon, where red clay is a predominant material. This intimate moment shared between the two protagonists forms a small sanctuary of affection and questions our own conceptions of home. Poster dimensions: 24 × 36”.
