Luna Mahoux  is a Paris based Belgian artist who explores Afro-diasporic, invisibilized narratives by blending music, documentary, and archives. A graduate of La Cambre in Painting, she joined the Fresnoy in 2023. 

 

Luna draws from personal archives, vernacular and popular images from the internet, and Black cultures to deconstruct, recontextualize, and reinvent forgotten stories. Her work aims to "make visible invisibilized communities" and questions the mechanisms of identity reappropriation in a world saturated with images. Through her travels in the United States, she writes about music and the complexity of Black experiences through the lens of collective memory and individual narratives. 

 

In 2023, she received the tiff – Emerging Belgian Photography Prize, awarded by the FOMU in Antwerp, and the Fintro Prize in 2024 (Brussels). Her works have been exhibited in institutions such as the Salon de Montrouge (Paris), Mécène du Sud (Montpellier), Villa Médicis (Les Chichas de la pensée), Circulation Festival at CENTQUATRE (Paris), KANAL – Centre Pompidou (Brussels), FOMU (Antwerp), Basel Social Club (Basel), Cherish (Geneva), and Coalmine (Winterthur).
