Where lianas intertwine

With Where lianas intertwinethe PAV - Park of Living Art presents a solo exhibition by Binta Diaw, an Italo-Senegalese artist whose practice is rooted in the interweaving of ecology, black feminism e diasporic memory. Edited by Marco Scotini, the exhibition is part of the museum's programme dedicated to the link between nature, female body e decolonial thinking.

The title is inspired by the liana, a climbing plant that symbolises collective resilience e vital interconnection. Diaw's installations transform the exhibition space into a choral landscapewhere materials organics e symbolic - like earth and synthetic hair - evoke survival practices, cultural transmission e poetic resistance.

Central works in the exhibition are Dïà s p o r a (2021), an installation in suspended braids that recalls the silent strength of Afro-descendant women during slavery, and Chorus of Soil (2019), a plant of the Brooks slave ship made from soil and seeds, which becomes garden of memory and rebirth.

Alongside these works, Paysage Corporel, Ritual e Juroom ñaar explore the theme of corporeality as landscape and living archivewhile the video work Being body concludes the route, offering a space for report with the living and the nature.

Via immersive installations, earth mats, suspended elements e woven fabricsthe exhibition invites the public to reflect on the power of marginalised memorieson the concepts of membershipand on a political ecology capable of overcoming colonial extractivism.
