30 ans de Maison - Roundtable & readings

Injonge Karangwa is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans music, writing, and performance. She is also a researcher in cultural history at KU Leuven, where she is pursuing a Ph.D. focused on the connections between access to cultural heritage, colonial legacies, and the construction of well-being. Her work combines research, writing, and stage performance, with a particular focus on issues of memory, health, and social and cultural justice. In 2025, she published *Faits Divers* with MaelstrÖm ReEvolution as part of the *Bruxelles se conte* collection. This debut work traces the arrival and journey of an African immigrant in Brussels, navigating exile, memory, and self-reinvention. She is also the author of *Amazing Grace*, a play performed notably at the Théâtre de la Parole in Brussels. In May 2026, she presented *Devenues filles de sirène* at the Matrimoniales Festival. Injonge Karangwa is also involved in several curatorial projects in Europe and Africa, including the exhibition *Pursuit of Knowledge* at M Leuven (Belgium, 2025) and *Dissonant Heritage* for the University of Bologna (2026). Throughout her work, she builds bridges between artistic creation, critical research, and lived experiences.
