This month, we are excited to welcome Cédrine Scheidig @cscheidig (our last A.I.R. of the year).

Cédrine Scheidig (b.1994, FR) is a photographer of French-Caribbean heritage living and working between Paris and the Caribbean. Her work is an exploration of Caribbean imaginaries that transcend geographic borders, offering a vision of identity as a continuous act of becoming. Driven by a poetic and critical lens that seeks to move beyond the boundaries of traditional documentary, she examines the intricate and sometimes contradictory ways in which youths reimagine both themselves and their communities in an era shaped by postcolonial and neoliberal realities.

Her work has been presented in several group exhibitions, including Fotografia Europea Festival (2023, Italy), Rencontres de Guyane (2023, Guyane), Encontros da Imagem (2023, Portugal), Plat(t)form Fotomuseum Winterthur (2022, Switzerland), Dior Prize w/ LUMA Foundation (2021, Arles), Rencontres internationales de la photographie (2021, Arles) and in a debut solo exhibition at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, in February 2023. She has been nominated among the British Journal Photography «Ones to Watch» (2022, UK), and shortlisted for the C/O Talent Award (2022, Germany) among others. She has been recipient of the Dior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents in 2021 and the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant in 2023. by @cscheidig

Cédrine Scheidig développe une pratique photographique qui se situe à la croisée du documentaire et de l’investigation poétique. À contre pied des représentations de la Caraïbe faites de plages désertes et de nature exotique florissante, ce sont les pratiques urbaines et les formes de résistance qu’elles produisent qui sont au cœur de son attention. À partir de l’idée d’un langage associatif, très présent dans la pensée rhizome du poète et philosophe caribéen Edouard Glissant, elle s’interroge sur les dimensions complexes de la caribéanité contemporaine à travers des connexions “rhizomatiques” - subtiles mais significatives - entre différents territoires, et des jeunes qui se reconnaissent mutuellement malgré leur dispersion géographique. Entre Fort-de-France, Paris et Londres, ses photographies abordent l’insularité, la migration, la culture urbaine, la jeunesse et les imaginaires qui émergent du déracinement.

Cédrine Scheidig has developed a photographic practice that lies at the intersection of documentary and poetic investigation. Contrary to representations of the Caribbean as deserted beaches and flourishing exotic nature, her focus is on urban practices and the forms of resistance they produce. Based on the idea of associative language, which is very present in the rhizomatic thinking of Caribbean poet and philosopher Edouard Glissant, she explores the complex dimensions of contemporary Caribbean identity through subtle but significant “rhizomatic” connections between different territories and young people who recognize each other despite their geographical dispersion. Between Fort-de-France, Paris, and London, her photographs address insularity, migration, urban culture, youth, and the imaginaries that emerge from uprooting.

Meet Cédrine Scheidig, one of the featured artists in Tidal Imprints, opening Thursday, September 11, 2025, at The Suite at ECCHO, Baha Mar. Curated by Amanda Coulson, former Executive Director of the NAGB and founding director of Tern Gallery, this exhibition creates a dialogue between two powerful photographic practices.

Cédrine Scheidig is a French-Caribbean photographer based in Paris whose work reflects on the poetics and politics of diasporic life. Growing up in the suburban outskirts of Paris, she explores Black geographies across the Caribbean and former colonial centers, weaving narratives rooted in her dual heritage.

Scheidig’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris) and Fotografia Europea Festival (Italy), and recognized by the British Journal of Photography’s “Ones to Watch”. She is the recipient of the Dior Photography & Visual Arts Award for Young Talents (2021) and the PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant (2023).
