Opening to the exhibition on Mallory Lowe Mpoka & Ethel Tawe which will run from November 13 - December 6, 2025 at articule, Montréal
Curation: Diane Gistal (Nigra Iuventa) and Billy Fowo (Savvy Contemporary)
In the wake of our archives: transmission and inherited memory is an exhibition that explores the intimate and affective nature of family archives and oral histories. It asks the question: "How do we refer to and embody inherited memories?"
Taking cues from Stuart Hall’s reflections on the Living Archive, the term archive here is approached not only as evidence or recount of the past, but also as a testimony to the voids in time and history. It is approached as a holistic and dynamic body that offers, in its incompleteness, the possibility to inhabit and continuously reassess the past, in search of that which was omitted. In this vein, the exhibition brings together Ethel-Ruth Tawe and Mallory Lowe Mpoka, two artists whose practices are deeply rooted within intergenerational transmission and archival custodianship.
The exhibition is presented in two iterations at Articule (November 2025) and the Alliance Française (January 2026) within the framework of the symposium Networks of the Black Atlantic.
