Born and based in Lubumbashi since 1995, Joseph K. Kasau Wa Mambwe holds a degree in Information and Communication Sciences with a specialisation in Performing Arts.

Her research and productions pay close attention to social interactions, highlighting power relations and proposing alternatives for change and coming together.

His experience as a researcher and artistic director has enabled him to develop projects that put people at the centre of all her creations, reflecting on more tactile and human ways of making the world, and affirming his commitment to the environmental cause through stage and installation creations that are part of a global conversation in favour of a decolonial ecology.
