Join Maïmouna in our Mexico City gallery as she walks us through her first solo exhibition in Mexico and Latin America, and the fourth with the gallery, titled A’ishah: Los caminos del alma (A’ishah: The Paths of the Soul), Conceived as a journey through works created at different stages of the artist’s practice—from 2007 to 2025—the exhibition is united by a central theme: the affirmation of female spiritual strength.
At the heart of A’ishah: The Paths of the Soul lies a profound meditation on the symbolic power of sacred feminine icons across cultures and continents. By linking the Black Madonnas of Europe—venerated figures often obscured by colonial narratives—with Mexico’s Virgen de Guadalupe, Guerresi opens a space of dialogue between African, Islamic, and Latin American spiritual traditions. Both the Black Madonna and the Guadalupana are embodiments of maternal protection, resistance, and divine presence—figures who have spoken to the marginalized and the oppressed across centuries. Through these connections, Guerresi invites viewers to reflect on how histories of devotion, migration, and memory are inscribed in the sacred image.
Exhibition dates: May 31 - September 13, 2025
