You can check out this podcast that Marryam did with my friend Mona last year. Exploring the World of Collage with Marryam Moma
Tanzanian-Nigerian visual artist Marryam Moma intricately reconstructs repurposed archival paper and mixed media, to create vibrant narratives, delving into the complexities of the Black experience. She highlights Black bodies, their strength and joy, while challenging societal perceptions. Moma's work is a masterful tapestry of multidimensional stories. Her analog collages grace international corporate collections like Microsoft, Google, and Starbucks.
Moma's influence spans TV shows like Blackish, Bel Air, and Cherish the Day, along with features in renowned publications such as Popular Science, MODE MEN Magazine, and XXL Magazine. Notably, Moma's analog collages are showcased in The New Brownies Book, recipient of the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work – Non-Fiction.
Departing from a Bachelor of Architecture, Moma draws inspiration from both the ordinary and the exceptional to reconstruct intricate analog collages from apparently disparate elements that uplift and empower. Moma's exhibitions in the US and internationally aim to promote understanding and inclusivity through art.
Mark your calendars and I’ll see you there!
