Kenny Cairo (1996, Guadeloupe) is a multimedia artist based between Guadeloupe and Paris. His work explores the intersections of human relations, recording practices, and the experience of landscape. Through multimedia performances, installations, and writing, he investigates how individuals connect with each other — through friendship, international solidarities, and acts of mutual support — as well as with their environments and the objects that inhabit them.

His recent work about the Caribbean region has mostly focused on the experience of natural hazards, and how local communities respond to emergency situations.

Rooted in his trajectory of mobility between the Caribbean and Europe, Cairo often works with fragile materials such as paper, ceramics, second-hand machines, or recordings, and questions their resistance, obsolescence, and capacity to carry biographies. This material engagement extends to colonial archives and research-based practices, through collaborations with Coco Fusco, Contemporary & Magazine, the Caribbean digital library Manioc.org, and the Université des Antilles.
