IN BETWEEN PRAYERS
'In Between Prayers' is a reminiscence of fragments from another life. The piece explores my family's religious transitions, in which five of six children in my mother's Flemish family converted to Islam. Today, they've left their religion behind them, but as the daughter of a Flemish mother and a Malian father with a strong Islamic background, I still carry that history with me.
With the voices of my mother, my aunt and myself, I bring fragments of that shared past to life, as a meeting between two worlds.
I PERFORM
REDUCTION TO SEDUCTION
In my performative installation 'Réduction à La Séduction' I combine textiles with dance and sound. I question the meaning of the skirt as a concept and its relation to women.
The skirt creates the soundtrack for the performance and takes on a new meaning.


BARE FEET
Bare Feet is a solo performance combining dance, audio, and spoken word to explore both personal and universal struggles. The performance focuses on the experiences of a Black woman growing up in a predominantly white neighborhood, while also addressing the broader challenges people face as they mature. The piece examines identity, vulnerability, upbringing and relationships conveyed through movement and poetic expression.
It delves into the balance between strength and fragility, while highlighting the struggle to remain authentic in a world full of expectations
