Josèfa Ntjam “Futuristic Ancestry: Warping Matter and Space-time(s)”

The solo exhibition of French multimedia artist Josèfa Ntjam invites visitors on a multi-layered sensory journey. The exhibition intertwines stories of historical movements that have empowered the oppressed and opens a door toward possible futures. Bringing together biomorphic sculptures, video installations, and photomontages, the presentation is fluid and poetic – filled with hybrid forms and endless dialogues.

What are the stories that shape your perception of the world and yourself? Who determines them, and how can we create alternative narratives within our communities to mobilize change?

Josèfa Ntjam’s exhibition Futuristic Ancestry: Warping Matter and Space-time(s) seeks to deconstruct these dominant narratives. Ntjam explores collective histories, as well as her own memories and personal and family archives, through images of African mythologies, ancestral rituals, Cameroonian independence movements, and freedom fighters such as the Black Panthers – highlighting the transformative power of community to create new realities.
