Mae-ling Lokko is an architectural scientist, designer, and educator from Ghana and the Philippines who works with agrowaste and renewable biobased materials. Through her work, Lokko explores themes of "generative justice" through the development of new models of distributed production and collaboration. In her artistic and design practice, her work deconstructs historical narratives and practices of extraction through the design of new material vocabularies and the prototyping of participatory models of distributed production.

Lokko’s recent works have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Nobel Prize Museum, Stockholm; Stedelijk Museum, Netherlands; 2022 Tallinn Architecture Biennial, Estonia; Serralves Museum, Portugal; Museum of the Future, Dubai; and Z33 House for Contemporary Art, Design and Architecture, Belgium.
