Instituto Buena Bista (IBB) is proud to present an artist talk by their current artist in residence in the program supported by the Mondriaan Fund Clémence Lollia Hilaire.
Clémence will introduce her practice, blending historical inquiry with embodied experience. She will present some key themes in her recent work centered on medical misogyny and misogynoir, and reflect on syncretism as a method in her art.
Following the screening of a short experimental film, we will gather to prepare a remedy using three plants from Curaçao, each known for supporting womb health. The session will be guided by Layla Martien, herbalist at the Den Paradera botanical garden. If you’d like to take some of the remedy home with you, please bring a small container.
Clémence Lollia Hilaire is an artist from Guadeloupe, who thinks a lot about extraction and its afterlives, not only as material dispossession, but as an ongoing epistemic and affective rupture that conditions how the self is formed, felt, and imagined. Filmmaking, sculpture and installation, are means to foreground these persistent logics, and seek to explore potential pathways beyond them.
The artist talk will be hosted by Cathedral of Thorns and will start at 19:00 on August 26, 2025.
