Kelly Sinnapah Mary

Ep.246 Kelly Sinnapah Mary (b. 1981, Saint-François, Guadeloupe) creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that draw upon the complex interrelationships between folklore, literature, inheritance, history, and the natural world. Sinnapah Mary’s work is rooted both materially and narratively in the artist’s immediate environment of the Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe, a French overseas department, and her own evolving understanding of her ancestral origins. Her work has been shown both in Guadeloupe and internationally at institutions including Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam, Netherlands; Peréz Art Museum Miami, Miami, FL; Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, India; and the Osage Foundation, Hong Kong.
