Speakers
  • Zohra Opoku
  • Mallory Lowe Mpoka

This conversation focuses on the practice of Zohra Opoku, whose work explores identity, belonging, and cultural memory through photography, textiles, and installation. Born in East Germany and now based in Accra, Opoku draws on personal and ancestral narratives to examine how heritage and contemporary experience intersect.

In dialogue with artist Mallory Lowe Mpoka, the exchange offers insights into shared concerns around memory, materiality, and the transmission of diasporic stories.
