Exhibition Description
In Aishah (Los caminos del alma), Maïmouna Guerresi continues her intimate exploration of Black Muslim identities through evocative images and sculptural pieces that merge figure, architecture, and landscape. Drawing upon her practice of Sufi mysticism and influence from Senegalese and broader Islamic traditions, Guerresi crafts compositions in which veiled figures often float or blend with nature, roots, light, milk, and cloaks symbolizing spiritual unity and healing. The exhibition underscores themes of ancestral belonging, gender, and shared humanity, presenting a poetic visual journey across the spirit’s terrain.
