After so many separations, disappearances, and relocations, what remains? In this laboratory, Po B. K. Lomami creates an intimate experiment that settles into the material and immaterial instability of lineage. Attempting to maintain their familial and cultural ties through the experience they share with their mother, doubt is confirmed in every moment, gesture and space. Perhaps through effort and pain they will succeed in creating a temporal loop that will preserve their future. aksanti 33 (part 1) is a performance that tests an uncertain legitimacy, threatened by shame and fear of failure, at a crucial age.

Administrative permanence is a period of time during which the artist is present or provides an agent at the performance site for service necessity outside of effective work periods. Permanence offers a quick and automated emotional exchange service for the large public through an individual and personal approach.

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 Tiohtiร :ke-Mooniyang-Montreal.
Exploring Afrofuturist principles and methodologies, Lomamiโs 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 bachelorโs degree (2011) and a masterโs 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).
