Franco-Gabonese artist Myriam Mihindou presents an original installation celebrating Punu culture through the collections of musical instruments and sound archives housed at the musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac. By working with ceramics, assembling objects, sculptures, shapes, materials and sounds, and interacting with visitors, she proposes a work that allows us to see, hear and feel her relationship with her culture.

Myriam Mihindou pays homage to the Punu mourners, of whom she herself is a member, true companions of souls who guide the dead to the afterlife and the living in their mourning. She reinterprets an ancestral practice, as well as the stories and myths that accompany it, and through her multi-faceted work - “total, performative, organic and corporeal”, as she likes to call it - highlights the cathartic virtue of these women's songs
