Resonant: Bodies, Songs, and Strings at MACS MTO Explores Sufi Culture Through Contemporary Art

The MACS MTO museum near Paris presents "Resonant: Bodies, Songs, and Strings," its second exhibition exploring Sufi principles through contemporary art. Curated by Elena Sorokina and Simona Dvořák, the show features 14 artists across three conceptual levels: transmission of knowledge, cosmic connections, and healing properties of sound. Artists include Yoshimi Futamura, Charwei Tsai, Sara Ouhaddou, Meris Angioletti, Paula Valero Comín, Rada Akbar, Célia Gondol, JJJJJerome Ellis, Nevin Aladağ, Guadalupe Maravilla, Katy'taya Catitu Tayassu, Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien, and Brook Andrew. The museum, directed by Claire Bay, aims to transmit Sufi spirituality through contemporary art, commissioning works from artists not necessarily linked to Sufi context. The exhibition runs until January 4, 2026, at the Musée d'Art et de Culture Soufi MTO in Chatou, Paris.
