Myriam Omar Awadi
Myriam Omar Awadi is a Franco-Comorian artist. She lives and works in La Réunion. In her practice, Omar Awadi seeks to provide a platform for silenced voices and spaces for listening. Recently, she has focused on the song traditions and possession rituals of the Indian Ocean islands and southern Africa, which inscribe forgotten presences and narratives from a female perspective. Trance is thus seen as both technology and method: summoning our ghosts, plugging the holes in the architectures of our memories by speculating on sensitive fictions about what has been and what will certainly happen in a tremor.
