Adeline Rapon (Martinique)

Adeline Rapon is a French-Martinican photographer born in Paris in 1990. Her artistic journey is self-taught and multidisciplinary, with skills ranging from drawing, painting, sculpture, scenography, and photography, all of which she enriches through her readings and exhibition visits. During the 2020 lockdown, Adeline created a series of self-portraits mirrored with representations of Caribbean women, titled Fanm Fò. This work, exhibited at the Rencontres Photographiques du 10e in 2021, led her to pursue an artistic career focused on her identity questions as a mixed-race, lesbian woman. Having developed partnerships with brands for over ten years, she now focuses more on personality and documentary photography, while asserting her feminist, queer, and decolonial values and commitments. Through her contributions to three issues of the Martinican magazine Zist, she turned her attention fully to her island. In 2023, she exhibited a series in Martinique, Lien·s, featuring stories from the local LGBTQIA+ community. In September of the same year, she completed an artist residency at the Maison de l’Architecture Martinique, producing a documentary series on the city of Saint-Pierre, titled Saint-Pierre n’est pas une ruine. In a desire to refocus her perspective and continue her artistic journey, Adeline moved to Martinique at the beginning of 2024. She is the 2024-2025 laureate of the Fotokontré program at the Station Culturelle, benefiting from individual support and a creative residency. Her photographs, along with those of other laureates from different territories, will be exhibited during the international biennial of photography in French Guiana in 2025.
