Josèfa Ntjam: Matter gone wild


  • Fondation Ricard 1 Cours Paul Ricard Paris, IDF, 75008 France (map)

Josèfa Ntjam has imagined an immersive exhibition that will focus on notions of dissident networks, often hidden and encrypted, and the strength required to mobilize them. The exhibition will focus on the maquis, a revolutionary biotope intertwined in a cluster of plant cells observed under a microscope, as well as mythological figures, often metaphors for struggles past and future - always future.

These presences include revolutionary figures such as Marthe Moumié, Ernest Ouandié, Ruben Um Nyobe, Sankara, Toni Morrison, SunRa and Henrietta Lacks, as well as mythological chimeras and divinities with powers as ancestral as they are forward-looking: Mami Wata, Amma & Nommo, Hilolombi... In other words, what we're talking about here is reweaving the links between (our) different revolutionary struggles, both human and non-human, to understand their affinities - political, social, historical, philosophical, poetic and "poiethic".
