Mariam Issoufou in AXIS Japan

In the latest issue of AXIS magazine, Mariam Issoufou talks to Maki Nakata about her practice including some of her earlier work like Mobile Loitering, a response to public space needs in Niger's post-colonial, highly gendered urban context. They explored Issoufou’s formative experience growing up in Niger; how the notion of good architecture or good design translate to process; the values, practices, and processes that one learns from practicing in West Africa that can be applied elsewhere in the world, among other topics.
