The exhibition is part of the path that the Turin center has dedicated in recent years to the relationships between nature, the female body and decolonial thought, after the solo shows of Navjot Altaf, Arahmaiani and Regina José Galindo. The chosen title refers to the liana, a climbing plant capable of adapting to difficult conditions and creating vital networks among forest trees. The liana becomes a metaphor for alliance, resistance and collective resilience, themes central to the artist’s research. Through environmental installations, organic materials and historical references, Diaw addresses issues related to Afrodescendant diasporic memory, ecological survival and female resistance.
