For Liste 2025, Di Folco Jemni focuses on three figures: Rabia al Adawiyya, Circe and Mary Magdalene. Drawing on the notion of landscape and ‘home’, the artist wants to represent these feminin icons in their geographical and geological territory: Bassorah for Rabia, Mount Circeo for Circe, or the Sainte-Victoire grotto for Mary Magdalene. These spaces, facing the sea, echo Paul Gilroy’s book The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness, and invites reflection on the heritage of black cultures and the invocation of water goddesses.
