Sedje Hémon (1923-2011) dedicated her life to showing the common origin and intersectionality of all arts and sciences, culminating in the development of a theory for the “integration of the arts.” Hémon’s multifaceted approach grew out of the urgency of her time and the need for creative expressions that she developed in the face of political ostracization and physical disability. Her lifelong traumas, coupled with her omission from art history, have not altered Hémon’s legacy, which offers tools, compositions, and methodologies for self-determined world-making.Hémon’s oeuvre showcases inextricable connections between the physical and celestial dimensions that define our common existence. This reader was published in conjunction with Abstracting Parables (July 1 – October 16, 2022), an exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, that brought together the artistic positions of Sedje Hémon (1923-2011), Abdias Nascimento (1914-2011) and Imran Mir (1950-2014). The expo was framed within the quadrennial sonsbeek20→24 Force Times Distance: On Labour and Its Sonic Ecologies, Arnhem, the Netherlands, under the artistic direction of Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung.
