Nathalie Mba Bikoro / Artist / Gabon / France

Nathalie Anguezomo Mba Bikoro’s interdisciplinary practices incorporate a synthesis of collaborative engagements, international community dialogue, body politics and development across continents through a merging of creative practices in live art performance, sound & vocal art, film, literature & museum archives, body art, installation and mixed visual media. Her practice derive from developing a creative language through cancer physio-therapies in her personal battle with Leukaemia cancer throughout the 90’s.

Her critical creative practices are informed by discourses of histories, archives and theories on postcolonialism, diaspora, migration, identities, afro & alter modernism and culture. Her work reveals and creates moments of synthesis and harmony between seemingly disparate, bodies of knowledge, cultural traditions and value systems. An exploration of creolised identity, heritage, memory and homeland, the artist investigates colonial past, tyranny, dictates of gender, traditions and mythologies.

Her works tends to be very conceptual and engage with communities contesting handcrafted economies of art, politics, literature, ecologies and philosophy combining alternative strategies in performance and practice to deconstruct social narratives and work on processes and engagement rather than final products.

With her approach both educative and allegorical, Nathalie Mba Bikoro highlights the different tones of a society shared between delusions and rituals where self-accomplishment depends on the ability to choose. She is the Neo-Griot for infinite times & spaces.
