Questioning how imagination enables human beings to create spaces, Amalia Laurent works with various dyeing techniques she has developed. Through multiple layers of color, formed by dozens of chromatic superimpositions, she gives depth to two-dimensional surfaces, calling on our imagination to create both physical and emotional spaces.

A song within a song brings together artists engaging with African and Afro-diasporic musical activities from the 1990s to the 2010s, within the francophone context. It frames genres like French hip-hop and R&B, zouk, raï, and coupé-décalé as necessarily cross-Mediterranean and cross-Atlantic.

“I don’t want to deliver an interpretation. I want to leave it off to the viewer to choose the meaning. These are my hope and wish and it relies a lot on spirituality and the individual experiences that viewers are bringing with them when they come to see the paintings.

“In my work, I try to recreate that sort of hybrid experience in which I am half human, half sea creature – half terrain, half marine creature. I think since I was a child I always had this strong connection with the sea in a very existential way. There was this possibility of becoming a fish, feeling at home, at ease in a marine environment. It was so natural for me to swim under the water, to breathe under the water, it really changed something in my mind. I don’t feel human – I feel my brain has expanded in that way. Underwater feels like my habitat.” — Agnes Questionmark
