About Me
Hadil Salih is a visual artist living and working in Paris. Her calligraphy and painting family heritage has led her to explore the relationship between text and image, and the ways in which writing and drawing can be integrated.
She is passionate about anthropology, ethology and palaeoanthropology; her research focuses on the living world and the correspondence between the anatomy of humans, animals and plants.
Her creations seek to rethink the way we view things around us, opening up "the collective imagination to enable new relationships with nature". ¹
Her works are exhibited in Institutions, such as the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, the Carreau du Temple, Cartier International, La Fabrique de la dance. She collaborates with artists in the fields of literature, dance and contemporary music, including choreographers and dancers Marinette Dozeville and Lorenzo de Angelis, conductor Léo Margue, opera singer Benjamin Athanase and poet Tiphaine Rault.
These encounters have led her to co-found LE CHANTIER, a multidisciplinary improvisation collective (visual arts, music and contemporary dance).
She is committed to the education, engagement and facilitation of workshops within Institutions, such as the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, the Musée Rodin, the Ecole Estienne, Le Carreau du Temple and the Art workshops association Paris-Ateliers.
