Kunsthalle Basel

Diambe (b. 1993) develops an artistic language between sculpture, painting, and film in which nature, ritual, and movement form hybrid narratives. Working with living, organic materials—fabrics, bronze, textiles, foodstuffs, egg tempera, plant dyes, and beeswax—Diambe choreographs fragile, sensual landscapes poised between ephemerality and resistance. The works negotiate themes of body, territory, and cultural memory, probing colonial archives as well as ecological crises. For Diambe’s largest institutional solo exhibition to date, at Kunsthalle Basel, new sculptures, paintings, and a new film will be produced that together offer a choreographic description of bees, oscillating between loss and rebirth.
