Marie-claire Messouma Manlanbien from Guadaloupe and Ivory Coast lives in Paris since 2004 when
she escaped from war torn Ivory Coast. Manlanbien defines herself as a ‘storyteller with mediums’ as she
works with textile, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and installation. In her works Manlanbien brings
together different cultures while merging traditional handicraft with urban industrial processes. Within
her installations Manlanbien tends to create activated spaces fusing a variety of mediums, techniques
and materials as a form of a continuous research to understand according to her words ‘creolization and
cultural synthesis’. Elaborate textile works are becoming complex maps of plural identities and diverse
ecosystems where different stories meet and form new ones. Ephemeral poetic narrations appear in
Manlanbien’s delicate works on textile and paper but often with distinct references to intersectionality.
Her works compose new topographies around the themes of femininity.
