Antih Lab

Laboratory of ethnopharmacology at the University of Montpellier, France.
This selection brings together medicinal plants, plant fibers, dye-producing species, fungi and mycelium specimens—interwoven into a unique, more-than-human ecosystem that challenges fixed distinctions between nature and culture.

First, we invite you to explore the Droguier through the lens of contemporary art and design, tracing how these disciplines engage with traditional plant knowledge—both as medicine and material.

These exhibitions will not showcase plants or plant-based objects as artifacts, but rather examine their role in the shifting frameworks that have defined herbaria-related narratives.
March 15, 2025 at 1:53 PM
A series of thematic exhibitions will be held in the Droguier over the next year, situating its historic collection within a broader contemporary context.

As part of a new initiative, we seek to critically examine our complex histories, ensuring the preservation of the collective memory of these practices and emphasising the importance of acknowledging the intersectionality of natural heritage.

Part 1 | Traditional Knowledge

We approached the concept as time travel, taking the visitors on a journey through traditional knowledge from its ancestral roots towards its role in contemporary urban context.

But how can you provide a scientific reasoning on a series of artworks deeply inspired by traditional knowledge - knowing that the two have a rather complicated relationship?

Engaging a wide variety of visual cultures, Maravilla’s
work is autobiographical, referencing his unaccompanied, undocumented migration to the United States due to the Salvadoran Civil War.

We had the pleasure of working on three artworks by transdisciplinary artist Guadalupe Maravilla. Combining sculpture, painting, performative acts,
and installation, he grounds his transdisciplinary practice in activism and healing.

To emphasize the need for collaboration between arts and science, MO.CO. invited Montpellier’s diverse scientific community to contribute to this major exhibition with texts explaining the scientific context of the artworks, offering deeper insight into the subject matter. @umontpellier.bsky.social

Montpellier Contemporain’s spring season explores art and science through a series of exhibitions across the city.

How to bridge arts and science and create a meaningful dialogue? Happy to have contributed to a newly opened exhibition at MoCo Montpellier Contemporain. Here’s a little thread on that.

As we look for sustainable solutions in global nutrition, leveraging the full potential of cassava—root and leaf—offers an exciting path forward.
February 17, 2025 at 10:24 PM
This innovation reimagines cassava, transforming it from a survival staple to a functional food that could help address malnutrition and chronic conditions like diabetes.

✅ Higher fiber and antioxidants to support overall health
✅ Lower glycemic index for better blood sugar control
✅ Enhanced anti-inflammatory properties to combat chronic diseases

The results are striking:

Enter the recent study from our research group, #QualiSud CIRAD at the Faculté de Pharmacie Montpellier, that explored this idea by enriching cassava flour with 30% cassava leaves.
February 17, 2025 at 10:24 PM
Meanwhile, cassava leaves, featured in beloved dishes like saka saka or pondu across Central Africa, are often overlooked as a nutritional powerhouse. These leaves are packed with protein, vitamins, and antioxidants, yet much of this potential goes untapped.
February 17, 2025 at 10:24 PM
In many West and Central African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and Liberia, starchy flours made from cassava root are staples of the daily diet. Cassava is not only resilient but also rich in fiber, copper, and magnesium—providing essential nutrients to millions.

NEW STUDY IS OUT! Happy to share some findings from a recently published article co-authored by @julienantih.bsky.social.

If you’re into #nutrition and #sustainabledevelopment this might be of a special interest to you. 🌱
