A conversation with Paris-born artist Tabita Rezaire. Rezaire is a new media artist, doula and cacao farmer based in French Guiana. On the occasion of her solo exhibition, Calabash Nebula at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Rezaire has created an immersive series of installations, which are inspired by and honour the Yoruba water spirit Yemoja. Yemoja is the main water spirit of the West African Yoruba religion, who is considered the mother of rivers and oceans and the mother of all humanity. In this episode, Tabita and Alayo discuss Calabash Nebula, as well as Tabita’s meandering journey to becoming an artist, her new experiences as a farmer at her community space, Amakaba, in French Guiana, and her recognition of the cosmic dualities of life’s cycles. Calabash Nebula is organised by TBA21 and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid and is open until the 12th of January 2025. Thank you to these organisations for making this episode possible.Keep up with us:TabitaTBA21: @tba_21 Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza: @museothyssenAlayo: @ablackhistoryofart @alayoakinkugbe
