Shiraz Bayjoo, Woman by the window, 2021
'Shiraz Bayjoo deconstructs the material and visual languages of coloniality to articulate new critical strategies for decolonial affirmation. The artist’s research-based work, rooted in his Mauritian heritage, pursues a broad understanding of the Indian Ocean region, investigating its interconnectedness in resonance with notions such as Édouard Glissant’s ‘poetics of relation’ and Patrick Chamoiseau’s interpretation of creolité.'
From curator Ilaria Conti's text.
