In a city where history whispers through live oaks and water rests just beneath the surface, “As Wind, Within Trees” invites viewers to journey into the intersections of ancestry, identity, and transformation. Through photography that bridges continents and generations, this joint exhibition illuminates the ways memory shapes and reshapes our collective and personal histories.
Rooted in the landscapes of the African diaspora and the complexities of queer Muslim life in France, these works delve into the reverberations of displacement, resilience, and belonging. Together, they explore how ancestral connections offer not only a path to healing but also the alchemy to redefine ourselves and our communities.
Here in Bulbancha—the place of many tongues—these two projects find fertile ground, offering a meditation on the power of remembrance to honor the past and transform the present.
