About the artist

Adji Dieye (Milan, 1991) is a Senegalese - Italian artist working in Milan, Zurich and Dakar. She obtained a Bachelor's Degree in ‘New Technologies for Art’ at the Academy of Brera in Milan and a Master's Degree at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste in Zurich. Dieye is one of the 19 Foam Talents 2020 and one of the winners of the C/O Berlin Talent Award 2021. In her practice she focuses on notions of representation from the historically colonialized hemispheres. Through the observation of the role of culture in advertising, public monuments and national archives, she critically questions the shapes of self-determination taken by these postcolonial spaces and aesthetics.
