Po B. K. Lomami (Pauline Batamu Kasiwa Lomami) is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist, art administrator, and artistic and public programmer. They are a Congo descendant from Belgium currently based in Tiohtià:ke-Mooniyang-Montreal.
Exploring Afrofuturist principles and methodologies, Lomami’s art practice revolves around the displacement of work, the becoming of their subjectivity, and the possible collective futures with black, crip, queer and Afrofeminist perspectives.
Lomami holds a bachelor’s degree (2011) and a master’s degree (2014) in Business Engineering from the University of Namur. They recently earned a Graduate Diploma in Communication Studies from Concordia University (2022) for which they were awarded the Pat and Bill Tierney Scholarship for academic excellence.

(New York, 2019), Casa del Popolo (Montreal, 2019), and Articule (Montreal, 2021).
