Myriam Mihindou
Born in Libreville, 1964 and lives in Paris
Myriam Mihindou is a multidisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sculpture, installation, drawing, writing, photography, video, and performance. Her work addresses issues of identity, memory, language, ritual, living beings, the female condition, spirituality, and ecology. Her practice could be described as both curative and artistic. As a traveling and nomadic artist, she works in physical empathy with specific environments, situations, and people, seeking to heal individual and collective wounds caused by various forms of subjugation or domination. She is also interested in how the artist assumes the spiritual and therapeutic, as well as the social and political, functions of art.
Born in 1964 in Libreville (Gabon), Myriam Mihindou lives and works in Paris. In September 2024, she is participating in the Lyon and Gwangju biennials. Recent solo exhibitions include “Ilimb, l’essence des pleurs” (Musée du Quai Branly, Paris, 2024), “Epiderme” (La Verrière, Brussels, 2022), “El teatro de las memorias” (CAAM, Las Palmas, 2022), and “Silo” (Transpalette, Bourges, 2021). She has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including “Le grand désenvoûtement” (Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2022), “Globalisto” (MAMC, Saint Étienne, 2022), “La sagesse des lianes” (CIAP, Vassivière, 2021), and “Possédé-e-s” (MO.CO, Montpellier, 2020).
