The Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum presents "Nebulosa de la calabaza" (Calabash Nebula), the first solo exhibition in Spain by artist Tabita Rezaire. This immersive exhibition features three new installations created in 2024, exploring themes of technology, spirituality, decolonization, and healing through an Afrofuturist lens.
The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, in collaboration with Fundación TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, presents "Nebulosa de la calabaza" (Calabash Nebula), the significant debut solo exhibition in Spain by the artist Tabita Rezaire. This immersive show, curated by Chus Martínez, brings together three new installations from 2024: "Omo Elu," "Des/astres," and "OMI: Yemoja Temple." Two of these installations are dedicated to Yemoja, a principal deity in the Yoruba religion, symbolizing the origin and perpetuity of life, and the mother of rivers and oceans. Rezaire, an Afro-cyberfeminist artist from Paris who resides in French Guiana, utilizes video, immersive space construction, and performance to challenge dominant narratives. Her work critically examines the intersections of technology, art, spirituality, decolonization, and healing, drawing on ancestral knowledge, indigenous, African, and non-Western wisdom, and digital technologies as tools for resistance, emancipation, and the reconstruction of identities and communities. The exhibition aligns with the museum and TBA21's ongoing exploration of postcolonial societies.
