Biography

Aude Christel Mgba (1991, CM) is an independent curator and art historian based between Cameroon and the Netherlands. She’s currently curator of contemporary art at the Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle.

Aude engages with decoloniality through research projects and creating platforms that aim to transcribe, translate, and embody ancestral knowledge. Her curatorial experiences include collaborations that question forms of making and showing art which tend to be centered between art institutions and art workers. She is more interested in collaborations that expand beyond these spaces to embrace other communities.

Mgba was the founder and coordinator of Rencontre (2014-2016), an exchange platform focusing on the work of art professionals from the contemporary art scene in Cameroon. Before moving to the Netherlands, she worked as a curator at Doual’art in Douala (2017-2018).

Among many other projects, Mgba was assistant curator for the 4th edition of the triennial SUD(Salon Urbain de Douala (2017), co-curator of Sonsbeek20->24 (2019-2022), co-curator of the Hartwig Art Foundation Special Project (2020-2021), curator of the Curated section of Art X Lagos (2021), and curator of the Prix Region Sud in Marseille ( 2022).

Mgba is also the artistic director and curator of the next edition of the Luleåbiennialen 2024 in Norrbotten, Sweden.
