Artist Profile
Lowam immigrated from Eritrea as a refugee with her family when she was 2 years old. They somehow landed in Barstow, CA, a desert town that is equivalent to The Hills Have Eyes meets Breaking Bad. After leaving Barstow, she attended CSULB, received a BA in performance, and has studied under Jeff Perry and Alexandra Billings at Steppenwolf Theatre West. After living in Los Angeles and New York, she quickly learned that the industry wasn’t quite representing her or women like her. As a result of the misrepresentation, she began creating her own work. Lowam focuses on narrative content for women, women of color, and other underrepresented communities. She is passionate about advancing narratives that stand to uphold the unique individual stories that are seldom told. Lowam has made it to the 2nd round of Sundance Episodic Lab and is currently working on her first fully funded feature.
