Roxane Mbanga (Paris, 1996) is a Guadeloupean, Cameroonian and French multidisciplinary artist. Alumni of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, she was awarded the Lichting and Rietveld Reviewed prizes in 2021. Known for her TEDx talk “Wearing Your Nudity”, she exhibits internationally, with solo shows at Fondation H in Paris and San Mei Gallery in London. She has also participated in group shows at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the National Museum of Cameroon in Yaoundé. Oscillating between fashion, cinema, graphic design, photography, writing and performance, Roxane Mbanga's artistic practice is plural. She weaves narratives that deconstruct stereotypes of black bodies by exploring the relationship between the intimate body and the perceived body, experienced as a social receptacle for the projections and fantasies of others. She collects and archives the stories of women with multiple identities, which she then transcribes into her films. From scent to color, her immersive multimedia installations awaken the senses and offer a space for reflection on identity and corporeality.
