French of Antillan origin, Sarah Maldoror is a poet who strives to translate into images the cultural, social and political movement of negritude among others. A new visual and narrative syntax for a different identity. Her work began in the theater with the creation of the first black theater company – Les griots – and after studying cinema in Moscow, she joined international decolonization movements in Africa. It attaches fundamental importance to solidarity between the oppressed, to political repression, and to Culture as the only means of uplifting a society.

Her work is resolutely humanist which celebrates the commitment of the artist and art as an act of freedom.
