Ami Weickaane (b. 1978, Senegal), also known as Bluu, moved to Paris as a young adult and now divides her time between France, Senegal and Sweden. She sees her practice as a process of sowing seeds, where she uses images and sounds to create mixed media installations. She questions our modern times, speculates about the "future present" and reflects on the traces we leave behind. Ami's view is that we are the ancestors of the future and therefore she wants to tell stories that are substantial, inspired by heritage, identity and Africa. The core of her work is the woman and above all the black woman.
