Born in 1998 in Paris, Mariama lives and works in the Île-de-France region, where she is completing her studies at the Beaux-Arts de Cergy.
Her artistic practice unfolds as a broader work of genealogy and exploration of both personal and collective memory. Through painting and drawing, she stages figures and characters drawn from family photographs, personal memories, and imagery from the world of entertainment, crafting a collective narrative that sketches the outlines of an alternative national story. Drawing also from her drag performance practice, she shapes a distinctive autobiographical voice.
