Ranti Bam
France | Feb 2026
Ranti Bam works primarily with clay. Her practice explores holding, presence, and becoming through hand-built forms that carry both strength and vulnerability. Working with red and black clays, materials that feel closely aligned with her African identity, she creates sculptural forms that move between the figurative and the abstract. The trace of touch remains visible, keeping the work grounded in the intimacy of making and the relationship between body and earth. At the heart of her practice is an exploration of scale and resonance: how what we hold on a micro level echoes on a macro level, how the small body is also the big body. Through clay, she reflects on memory, care, ancestry, and belonging, using sculpture as a space to consider how personal gestures connect to collective and cosmological worlds.
