Read more about the class ,here,.
Yvonne Mpwo is a Congolese-American curator based in New York whose work explores reclamation, indigeneity, and sovereignty through exhibitions that bridge digital and material worlds. She is the founder of bana’pwo, a nonprofit curatorial residency facilitating cross-cultural exchange between artists, researchers, and architects engaging with the cultural landscapes of the Congo, as well as its publishing arm, lóbí press. Working between New York and Congo, she develops projects that foreground spatial storytelling, counter-archives, and diasporic memory through technology and material practice. Yvonne holds a Master of Science from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP), where she studied Critical, Curatorial, and Conceptual Practices in Architecture, focusing on diasporic visuality, technological mediation, and curatorial refusal.

This class is free / pay-what-you-want through the support of external funding.
At SFPC we believe that no one should be denied an educational opportunity because of their inability to pay. Through the support of funders and community donors, we are able to subsidize tuition-free classes and provide scholarships for participants.
Our scholarships directly redistribute wealth to those who might otherwise be unable to participate in our program. Scholarships are a critical resource on our way towards creating a more comprehensive free or donation-based model in the future.
We know this future is possible through the generous help of current, former and future participants, community members, and friends of the school on WithFriends. Please become a member to help us become a beautiful school that can offer free and low cost classes and events in the future.
