Delali Amegah is a French-Togolese-Beninese multidisciplinary artist living between Luxembourg and Berlin. Her work explores Afro-descendant and Black identity, love and belonging across different media, including film, poetry, photography and essays. She won the Prix Laurence in Luxembourg in 2016 for her poetry, and one of her screenplays was selected in 2022 by Stage 32 and the Black Boy x Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative – a program created by Mike Gauyo, writer of the HBO series Insecure by Issa Rae. She was part of the production team of the short film Black Joy, directed by Kemi Fatoba for DADDY Magazine. In July 2024, she showed her first exhibition titled Afropean Girl – a photographic series in collaboration with photographer Brian Ngugi on the impact of discrimination and racism on the lives of Black women, supported by pfd Kreuzberg. Delali is also co-editor of the upcoming Togetherness anthology by Poetry Meets in Berlin. She continues to develop films, screenplays and art projects that focus on African and Black identity.
