Michèle Boulogne is an artist and textile designer based between Amsterdam and Martinique. Her research questions the cultural and social context around the imagination of space exploration and is at the crossroads of visual arts and textile experiments.
Boulogne regularly subverts geographic representation tools such as maps, remote sensing imagery or historical texts and questions the influence of these instruments in the cultural imagination of the environment. These works often take the form of visual collages, mixing mediums of textiles. In 2023, the artist began an inquiry on the history of the Caribbean archipelago to inform current challenges coming with space being considered a “New frontier” for humanity, industry and culture.
