Franco-Tunisian painter Inès Di Folco Jemni’s work explores notions of exile and maternity, highlighting different myths and ritual practices from around the world. Her works invoke past lives, inviting us to revive ancestors and spirits, carefully and gently, through ceremony. Via her representations and references, Inès Di Folco Jemni offers new narratives, both personal and historical, outside of the hegemonic Western gaze. She has had recent solo and group exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Magasins Généraux (Pantin), NADA (Miami), Deli Gallery (New York and Mexico), FRAC Lorraine (Metz), Friche la Belle de Mai (Marseille), Scheusal (Berlin), and sissi club (Marseille). Her works are in the collections of FRAC Île-de-France (Paris and Romainville), FRAC Sud (Marseille), FCAC (Marseille), and Collezione Taurisano (Naples).
