A retrospective on spiritual protection and ancestrality... The Palais de Tokyo presents thegroup exhibition Tituba, qui pour nous protéger? from October 17, 2024 to January 5, 2025. The exhibition brings together eleven artists from the Caribbean and African diasporas, based in France, Great Britain and North America. Centered on the emblematic figure of Tituba, Salem's black witch, the stroll offers a poetic and spiritual reflection on mourning and memory. An immersion in the invisible links between past and present.
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.
