Architecture of the Self: What Lives Within Us
Mallory Lowe Mpoka

Mallory Lowe Mpoka brings to life a vibrant sensory-memorial map of her journey toward self-reconciliation as she returns home to Cameroon. Through photography, poetry, and travel accounts, she intertwines personal and collective histories, exploring themes of memorialization, subversion, and representation. With a refreshing auto-ethnographic approach to visual storytelling, Architecture of the Self: What Lives Within Us makes us look and listen deeper, calling for a renewed way to engage with images.
