Inspired by Maryse Condé's novel Moi, Tituba, sorcière noire de Salem, the exhibition revolves around the spiritual protection that our ancestors and myths can exert over our daily lives. Through an eclectic mix of sculptures, films, photographs and installations, the artists explore intimate and collective narratives that transcend time and generations, while resonating with contemporary issues of migration and identity.

The journey, both intimate and universal, invites visitors to meditate on the connections between the visible and invisible worlds. Works by Naudline Pierre, Rhea Dillon, Liz Johnson Artur and many others contribute to this symbolic and material reflection, where imagination and memories shape our present. Through this sororal approach, Tituba becomes a protective figure, weaving a powerful link between plastic creation and collective memory.

With a program as rich as it is ambitious, Tituba, qui pour nous protéger? is a must-see exhibition for anyone wishing to explore the spiritual dimension of contemporary art and its dialogue with diasporic history and culture. A unique experience, to be discovered at Palais de Tokyo.
