​STATEMENT

Delali Amegah is a French artist based in Luxembourg. A poet, artistic director, photographer, and filmmaker, she develops amultidisciplinary practice where writing and visual arts intersect. A graduate of a Master’s in Creative Production (Catalyst, Berlin, 2024) and a Bachelor of Law (University of Leicester, 2021), she explores themes of Afropean identity, postcolonial memory, and the representation of Black identities and bodies in Europe. Her photographic project Afropean Girl, presented in 2024 at the Zimmer48 gallery and funded by the PFD Kreuzberg (Berlin), marked an important step in her artistic research by questioning injunctions related to beauty, assimilation, and the search for belonging. Her artistic work has also been published by Black Fountain Press and recognized with the Prix Laurence (2016). Amegah continues to pursue an artistic approach that places creativity and storytelling at the center of a reflection on identity and emancipation.

« My artistic practice is rooted in a research on Afropean identity and the place of Black women within the European space. I use visual arts and writing as tools of expression and liberation, placing visual storytelling at the core of my work. My project Afropean Girl, which emerged from my Master’s thesis in Berlin, questions how Black women are represented, perceived, and at times compelled to erase their cultural singularity. Through the staging of the body and the integration of textual fragments into the image, I seek to create a tension between the intimate and the political. My works raise questions about beauty, assimilation, and identity, while revealing the invisible mechanisms of oppression and resistance. This approach is both autobiographical and collective: it arises from my own experience, yet it is anchored in a memory shared by many women of the African diaspora. I conceive art as a therapeutic and transmissive space, capable of opening dialogues where words alone sometimes fall short. »
