Tanzanian-Nigerian collage artist Marryam Moma employs symbolism to tell vivid stories. Marryam blends repurposed archival paper, mixed media, and rich paints to create multidimensional imagery. With a background in architecture, Marryam grew up in a family of creatives. Partly autobiographical and highly intersectional, her art illustrates Black joy and challenges how the Black body is perceived. Her work lives in the collections of corporations like Microsoft and Starbucks and has been featured on television programs like Black-ish and Cherish the Day. Marryam’s commissioned work appeared in celebrated art publications and she has exhibited widely in the U.S. and abroad.
