MICHÈLE BOULOGNE

Michèle Boulogne is a Martinican visual artist and cultural researcher. Her practice investigates how identity and cultural memory are shaped through spatial sciences. Drawing from the histories of textiles and visual arts, she explores how distant geographies, astronomical phenomena, and large-scale natural events, often perceived as too remote, too vast, or too abstract to grasp, become embedded in collective memory.

Influenced by her Caribbean heritage and space studies, she will present two body of work : Venus Does Not Exist (2021) and premiere outcome from her last project : An Mitan, The Space Between islands.

Her work takes the form of visual collages, layered compositions that mirror fragmented histories and overlapping temporalities. She combines artisanal and industrial textile techniques such as weaving, knitting, and dyeing. Her practice frequently challenges dominant narratives and cartographic conventions, working with tools like remote sensing, weather imaging, and celestial observation.
