Courants Caribéens
Habiter le monde
The exhibition is on view at the restaurant-lobby of Hôtel La Pagerie, in Martinique. Curated by Saint Art 700, it brings together the work of three Caribbean artists.
In Martinique, the line between home and nature is thin. The house extends into the street, the garden, the landscape and all the way to the sea. Nature is part of how we live.
This selection explores that continuity between Caribbean living spaces and their environment, between the intimate and the immense. From colourful facades to scenes of everyday life, from architecture to seascapes, the works tell of a territory where inside and outside are in constant conversation.
The journey leads us gradually from the house to the horizon, from the lived-in space to the ocean. The body appears as a link between these two worlds.
Through the eyes of Caribbean artists, Courants Caribéens offers another way to discover Martinique: not only as a place to visit, but as a territory to inhabit, to feel and to live.
Jonathan Ménialec
Martinique · Photography
Born and raised in Martinique, Jonathan Ménialec moved to mainland France at 19. This departure shaped his thinking on identity, roots and the way we look at the world. Self-taught, he developed a photographic practice centred on people, the body and narrative, at the crossroads of portraiture, artistic creation and editorial work.
Years later, his return to Martinique gave birth to ZETWEL: a project of portraits, texts and testimonies that explores Martinican identities far from clichés. Through this sensitive approach, he pays tribute to a living culture, preserves faces and stories, and helps pass on the contemporary memory of Martinique.
Wendie Zahibo
Guadeloupe · Multimedia
Wendie is a Guadeloupean artist whose multimedia work is known for a visual language full of emotion, blending photography, texture and symbolic abstraction. Her work explores memory, identity and the complexity of the Afro-Caribbean female experience.
Wendie has developed a singular multimedia practice, rooted in storytelling and experimentation, which positions her as one of the strongest emerging voices in contemporary Franco-Caribbean art.
Marlon James
Jamaica · Portrait
