Minia Biabiany

Artist | Educator | Decolonial Thinker

Born in Guadeloupe, Minia Biabiany is a French artist whose practice unfolds between Mexico City and her native island. Her work intricately weaves together layered and fragmented narratives, drawing from the Caribbean’s complex colonial history to craft ephemeral poetics of form. Through installation, video, and spatial storytelling, she explores the intersections of territory, language—both oral and written—and the act of weaving as a cultural and political gesture.

Biabiany is the founder of Semillero Caribe (2016), an artistic and pedagogical collective fostering decolonial dialogue through shared practices. Her ongoing project Doukou deepens this inquiry by engaging with Caribbean thought and somatic knowledge to develop pedagogical methodologies rooted in the body and experience.

Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions and events such as the 10th Berlin Biennale, TEOR/éTica (Costa Rica), Witte de With (Rotterdam), Cráter Invertido (Mexico), Prix Sc Po 2019 (Paris), and SIGNAL (Malmö).
