Fonderie Darling kicks off its fall programming with a festive evening featuring exhibitions by Mallory Lowe Mpoka and Paula Valero Comín, presented as part of the 19th edition of MOMENTA.

The exhibition The Matriarch: Unravelled Threads by Mallory Lowe Mpoke retraces the history of her ancestors and, more broadly, that of a people marked by the violence surrounding the Cameroonian War of Independence in the 1950s and 1960s. Conversely, Paula Valero Comín's exhibition Rosa Luxembourg Resistant Herbarium weaves a botanical and political genealogy from local plants and the stories of committed women, revealing the multiple forms of resistance that emerge between urban biodiversity and social struggles.

Creative and reflective workshops, inspired by the Biennale 2025 exhibitions, will be offered throughout the exhibition.  Each workshop begins with a guided tour to immerse yourself in the works and their themes, before giving way to a collective activity.

About the 19th edition of the Biennale
In a world saturated with images, some, strangely, are lacking. This edition of MOMENTA aims to open up multiple perspectives for experimentation and speculation on the nature, uses, and production of missing images. In Praise of the Missing Image explores both contemporary challenges in relation to the image and the current consequences of the complex dynamics involved in constructing narratives. Which stories are told, how, and by whom?
