C'est qui

Miriam Belblidia is an Arab-American multi-disciplinary artist, researcher, and community organizer with a background in disaster management. As an artist, she explores diasporic identity, mythology, and decolonial realities, weaving together film, artifacts, collage, sculpture. Through interactive installations, facilitation, and community action, she examines how attempts to control nature are visible in our landscapes, waterways, and bodies as echoes of colonial legacies. Recent work includes a series exploring the “mythical autobiography” of Hydra, climate migration, and building a diving bell to walk on the bottom of the Mississippi River. Miriam was a Fulbright Fellow in water management in the Netherlands and is currently a Project Centrifuge fellow through ASU's Center for Science and Imagination. She is based in New Orleans, LA.
