Momo Ma Pak Yin is a Hong Kong-born artist currently based in London.

Rooted in Ma’s background as part of an indigenous fishing family, she navigates non-human narratives, temporal and spatial communication through objects in her works, driven by transformations and transitions that shape a place over time.

Ma’s research is grounded in the Asian diasporic experience, exploring heritage and cultural memory through the lens of ecological and geopolitical displacement. Investigating sonic warfare and alternative modes of listening, her practice seeks to understand how sound functions as a vessel for collective memory, transmission, and dialogue across fractured geographies. By engaging with the politics of sound and silence, she considers how histories are distorted and lost across distances.

Ma’s work often embodies field recordings, archival images, oral histories, and found objects.

In 2023, Ma co-founded B-complex, a collective of seven artists based in Hong Kong. Through a residency at the Foo Tak Building, the group delved into the disorientations of daily life and the complexities of community through the process of trial and error.
