Tabita Rezaire

Calabash Nebula: Cosmological Tales of Connection

17 September 2025 to 11 January 2026

With Tabita Rezaire. Calabash Nebula: Cosmological Tales of Connection, Weltmuseum Wien presents the first solo exhibition of Tabita Rezaire (*1989) in Austria. In her work, the multidisciplinary artist, activist, and healer combines digital technologies with spiritual, non-Western, and indigenous knowledge systems. Through her artistic practice, she explores healing as a decolonial strategy and exposes how neo-colonial power structures continue to dominate our understanding of the cosmos.

Des/astres, 2024.

About the Exhibition

About the Exhibition

Rezaire uses video works, installations, and performances to establish connections between the past and present, science and mysticism, technology and nature and thus creates spaces for collective memory and transformation.

The exhibition is a manifestation of Rezaire's philosophy of life and brings together three installations from the year 2024; OMI: Yemoja Temple an Omu Elu are dedicated to Orisha Yemoja, the mother spirit of rivers and oceans worshipped by the Yoruba in West Africa and the diaspora. The installation Des/astres deals with the astronomical traditions of the Amazon region and the strategic position of French-Guyana as a central location of the European space programme.

The exhibition Tabita Rezaire. Calabash Nebula was curated and shown by TBA 21 at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid. It will be re-adapted for the Weltmuseum Wien.
