Thomias Radin

Martinican artist Thomias Radin, winner of the 4th edition of the Oelle – Ancient Mediterranean Prize, completed his residency in Sicily, where he developed a new project dedicated to the Mediterranean as a space of encounter and contamination, in an exhibition dedicated to him. Born in 1993 in Martinique and working between Berlin and Paris, Radin explores with his work the cultural and historical stratifications that permeate bodies, gestures, and territories. Through performances, installations, and visual practices that combine dance, sound, and sculpture, the artist questions the relationship between presence and absence, belonging and migration, proposing a poetic and political vision of the Mediterranean as a space in constant movement. With Thomias Radin's residency in Sicily, the Oelle – Ancient Mediterranean Foundation confirms its vocation as a laboratory of ideas and connections, a project that supports the "navigating artists" of the third millennium and promotes a vision of the Mediterranean as a crossroads of cultures, identities, and experimentation. The Oelle Foundation thus renews its commitment to promoting contemporary artistic research as a tool for knowledge and a bridge between the different shores of the world.
