Presented by:
Nigra Iuventa in partnership with the Goethe-Institut Montreal
in collaboration with La Piscine/Espace Rodier

For her first appearance in Canada, Zohra Opoku — a leading figure in contemporary African art — sits down with Mallory Lowe Mpoka for an in-depth conversation.

Zohra Opoku’s multidisciplinary practice is grounded in her personal history and cultural heritage. Born and raised in East Germany and later relocating to Ghana to reconnect with her ancestral roots, Opoku explores the complex intersections of identity and memory. Her work navigates the space between these experiences, bridging cultures, geographies, and time.
In this exchange, the two artists reflect on shared concerns: memory, materiality, and the transmission of diasporic histories.
