An artist without borders.

Myriam Mihindou's work knows no boundaries, literally or figuratively. From high jumping to architecture, via the Bordeaux School of Fine Arts, her training deploys several spaces of expression. She evacuates the question of belonging to a specific culture or artistic medium by playing with porosities and "Relation" as defined by Édouard Glissant. The performance, understood as a practice where the body is both the tool and the screen of a thought, can be considered as the main thread of a cathartic artistic creation. Before that, travel and encounters nourish his work. From Egypt to France, through Morocco, Reunion, Gabon, Uganda or the United States, M. Mihindou is a true exote, who, by moving and experimenting with specific places and contexts, conducts a physical and memorial research. On site, she invests and surveys the languages, energies, histories, landscapes, bodies, and materials that she will then inject into her performances and sculptures.
