Myriam Omar Awadi (1983, Paris. Lives in Le Tampon, Réunion) is a Franco-Comorian artist. Awadi’s work gives voice to narratives that are often unheard, seeking the sparks reignited by their final breaths. Millions of souls and species, crafted from wood, clay, glass, embroidery, shimmering sequins, and seawater, drip onto microphones and awaken from their premeditated extinctions through the sweat of our deviant listening. They tell stories for gardens, cradle morbid suprematism, and sing politics dissolved in the liquid humors of love. The artist’s work has been exhibited at the 12th Bamako Encounters, Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Zeitz MOCAA (Cape Town) and the 2023 Kochi-Muziris Biennale (Kochi). Awadi co-founded the Parole Parole laboratory and the artist-run space La Box, both in La Réunion.
