Minia Biabiany
Musa is a visual and textual work by Minia Biabiany and the starting point of a broader research around the sexuality of Caribbean women, the historical legacy of slavery, and the artist’s own female lineage. Sometimes shown within an installation, sometimes on its own, the video combines images of flowers, landscapes, and bodies, with text in Creole and English. The video is conceived as a weaving, its technique creating stitchings and surfaces, upon which the artist inscribes stories.

Minia Biabiany
Qui vivra verra, Qui mourra saura is an installation by Minia Biabiany composed of the plan of a house made out of strips of salt, and a “garden” made of ceramic pieces, hanging from the ceiling and on the floor, and non woven fabric. She uses blue and red filters to alter the hues of light coming from the outside. The work focuses on the disappearance of traditional knowledge associated with the “jardin de case” outside Guadeloupean houses.
