Louise Mandumbwa is an artist working in painting, printmaking and drawing to explore the figurative, botanical and ideations of home. Her practice is a counter mapping endeavor examining the ranging registers or memory through material exploration, the illegible image and failed translation. An immigrant artist, her works revisits sites of both familial and diasporic history to and appends them with affect and the anecdotal. With an interest in communal meaning making, the stewarding of stories and self publishing her work extends to short form poetics and book arts.
