Born in 1990, lives and works in Paris.
A graduate of Cergy School of Fine Arts, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien develops new forms, exploring matter and signs. In the manner of mazes or riddles, her works compose new topographies, around themes of femininity, identity and the body, at the intersection of her Caribbean and West African heritage.
On the border between sculpture, weaving and installation, the artist’s works are an invitation to meander in their poetic narratives. Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien’s work has shown in multiple solo exhibitions, particularly at L’Orangerie du Jardin du Luxembourg in 2021, La Cité Internationale des Arts de Paris, MOCA Brescia in Italy, MAC VAL, and A/D/O Design Institute in New York.
