Mnemosyne

 

is a queer visual artist, maker, energy and intuition practitioner. 

She is currently living and working in Brussels and comes from the sunny south-east of France. She studied Fine Arts and Aesthetics in France and Belgium, where she specialized her works on questioning the essence of being of images and their power : images as knowledge, images as memories, images as history, images as bodies, images as weapons... 

She has worked for some time under-the-radar with a strong desire to remain discreet while taking the time to discover herself, what was dear to her soul on many levels (political, artistic, energetic, and personal), and to grow her consciousness about the images, marks, talismans and amulets that she wants to create - as well as the practices that she wishes to apply and develop. 

She has named her current project Œ. 

Œ is a modificative letter, and a ligature too. It embodies the act of creating a link between our inner world/selves and the outside and creating a modification in/on our bodies and our minds. 

Intuition, consciousness, and empowerment are the core of her practice, which exists at the junction of different media such as drawing, lino printing, tarot and oracle reading, hand-poke tattooing (currently under apprenticeship), lithotherapy, and reïki. 

With Œ, Mnemosyne wishes to generate a space and/or time for finding and/or creating a way from and/or to one’s body while growing radical kindness and courage. And to try and love, accept, discover, recognize, acknowledge, listen to, and live together with oneself and with others, while (re)claiming one’s power and will. 

This can materialize by the conscious and collaborative creation of talismans, amulets, symbols, or images, which are playing with different layers of intention and intuition.

 

Upcoming Projects

She is currently learning hand-poke tattooing and will probably start tattooing and offering self-care rituals during the summer if the sanitary situation allows it in Belgium.

Participation in a project lead by Mala Hierba alongside other artists from Brussels: creating illustrations that will be used to create a bingo game that will help raise funds for the venue of a Zapatista (anti-patriarchy and capitalist mexican political organisation) delegation in Brussels.

Collaborative project in a tattooing performance which will stand on the interpretation of the English saying "let's braid each other's hair".
