Prometeo Gallery Ida Pisani is delighted to announce the representation of the artist Binta Diaw with her first solo exhibition "La plage noire" at the gallery on October 6, 2022.

Binta Diaw (1995, Milan) is a Senegalese-Italian artist based in Milan, Italy. She graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and from the ÉSAD in Grenoble.

Often declined in the form of installations of various sizes, Binta Diaw's plastic research is part of a philosophical reflection on the social phenomena that define our contemporary world - such as migration, the notion of belonging or the question of gender - through body and spatiality. By feeding her research through contributions on intersectionality and feminism, Binta Diaw takes us into the exploration of multiple levels of identity: hers as a black woman in a Europeanized world; ours and that of a continuous crossroads of histories and geographies.

Binta Diaw's work has been shown, in particular, in the exhibitions: "12th Berlin Biennale" (Berlin, 2022); "13th Rencontres de Bamako / Biennale Africaine de la Photographie" (Bamako, 2022); "The Land of Our Birth is a Woman”, Centrale Fies (Dro, 2022); "Toolu Xeer”, Galerie Cécile Fakhoury (Dakar, 2022); "Les tirés ailleurs”, Bungalow ChertLüdde (Berlin, 2022); "Golden Hour”, Bloom Galerie (Saint Tropez, 2022); "Beauty and Terror: Places of Colonialisms and Fascisms”, Madre Museum of Naples (Naples, 2022); "Signs of Me”, Casa Testori (Milan, 2022); "and plant seeds for a different way of living”, Titanik and Museum of Impossible Forms (Turku, 2022); "The Recovery plan”, Italian Institute of Culture of Paris (Paris, 2022); "Les Filons Géologiques”, Palazzo Accursio (Bologna, 2021); Museo Novecento (Florence, 2021); "Dïà s p o r a”, Galerie Cécile Fakhoury (Abidjan, 2021); "School of Water-Mediterranean, Young Artists Biennale" (San Marino, 2021); "I have this memory, it is not my own”, Galerie Cécile Fakhoury (Dakar, 2020); "Waves Between Us”, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo (Guarene, 2020); "Nero Sangue”, Museo MAGA (Gallarate, 2020); "In Search of Our Ancestor's Garden" (Milan, 2020); "Soil is an Inscribed Body”, Savvy Contemporary (Berlin, 2019).
