About
I would not conceive my artistic work in any way other than through
the lens of commitment, resonating with the upheavals of the world and
the voices that pass through it.

Caroline Bravo is a transdisciplinary visual artist (primarily contemporary art performances and hybrid installations) and an exhibition curator.
​
She lives and works in Paris.
​
Co-founder and curator of the Hey Mummy Project exhibition-event cycles on female transgenerational transmission, she is also the co-founder, alongside her fellow artist Sandrine Follère, of Station Expérimentale d'Art contemporain (Experimental Station for Contemporary Art), an incubator for artistic initiatives.
​
Through her work, she explores contemporary societal issues, addressing the remnants of patriarchy, the Anthropocene, and the upheavals it generates, including the climate crisis, ecological challenges, migration issues, and current political tensions. Her work is rooted in activist art, questioning mechanisms of domination and collective resistance.
​
She holds a Master’s degree in Ethnology, Anthropology, and Religious Sciences (specializing in popular mythologies, ethnopsychiatry, and Arab-Muslim civilization), combined with a strong artistic background. Her work juxtaposes transversal artistic practice and cognitive anthropology.
​
Her protean creations, imbued with a strong oneiric dimension, weave a complex dialogue between the sacred and the profane, interrogating the notions of otherness and the collective unconscious.
​
A former collaborator of Jack Lang (Former Minister of Culture), within his cabinet at the Institut du Monde Arabe, she has worked for years in the cultural, artistic, and media sectors before fully dedicating herself to her artistic career.
​
She has been in residence and/or performed in various contemporary art venues, including Galerie Michel Journiac, Palais de Tokyo, CAC La Traverse, Centre d’Art Mains d’Œuvres, The Window (Urban Artistic Experimentation Lab), Le Générateur, and 59 Rivoli.
​
Since its creation in 2018 by artist Nour Awada, she has been a research member of the Laboratoire des Arts de la Performance (L.A.P.), which currently brings together more than 80 international artists.
