T.I.E

Ngnima Sarr, also known as T.I.E, is a multidisciplinary Senegalese artist whose practice spans music, ritual performance, installation, and autobiographical video. An ecofeminist, she explores feminine energy as a transformative force and places ritual at the heart of her performances, designed as spaces of care, memory, and transmission. Her installation Mawu’s Daughters (Parcours-Dakar 2021) embodies this approach. Her project Odyssey in Utero, initiated at Fresnes prison during her residency with Banlieues Bleues and continued at Villa Albertine in Atlanta in 2024, offers a sensory and political journey through the uterus as a vessel, examining Black women’s relationship to the body, memory, and territory in relation to the traumas of the African diaspora. A poet and singer-songwriter, she founded T.I.E and The Love Process, the trio Exillians, and Lâcher l’homme!, an immersive piece inspired by Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks. She recently presented Raayam Fa Roog at the Palais de la Porte Dorée.
