Biography
Myriam Mihindou's practice, which involves performances, drawings, photographs, installations and videos, has therapeutic and cathartic qualities. Her work finds inspiration in the physical experience and memories of places she has travelled to, and she draws on the languages, histories and knowledge of other communities to create new narratives. She focuses on bodies wounded by the power struggles, oppressions and violence of the human condition. By invoking the energies and forces in objects and matter, she seeks to purge and heal the pathologies of the world.
