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 curative as much as artistic. Travelling and nomadic, the artist works in physical empathy with specific environments, situations and people, seeking to repair the individual and collective wounds caused by various forms of subjugation or domination. She is also interested in the way in which 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. She participates in September 2024 in the Lyon and Gwangju biennials. Her solo show “Ilimb, l’essence des pleurs” is on view at the Musée du Quai Branly (Paris) until November 2024. Recent personal exhibitions include “Epiderme” (La Verrière, Brussels, 2022), “El teatro de las memorias” (CAAM, Las Palmas, 2022) and “Silo” (Transpalette, Bourges, 2021). She has also taken part in numerous group exhibitions, including “Le grand désenvoûtement” (Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2022), “Globalisto” (MAMC, Saint Etienne, 2022), “La sagesse des lianes” (CIAP, Vassivière, 2021) and “Possédé-e-s” (MO.CO, Montpellier, 2020). She won the AWARE Prize in 2022 and was in residence at the Villa Albertine (New York) in 2023. She is represented by Maïa Muller (Paris) and Saana (Utrecht).
