Process

Process is a site-specific installation conceived by Mariam Issoufou for the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennial. The biennale was curated by Lesley Lokko under the theme: Laboratory of the Future. “I chose not to reprint source material but rather to reproduce it as large-scale hand drawings to make it mine, ours. The wall drawings are an homage to the Neolithic engravings I grew up visiting in the mountains and caves of the Sahara desert. Experiencing them so early in my life gave me a deeper sense of my history and its importance. Process is in some ways about taking back control of knowledge that belongs to us but that lives in books and museums far away,” Mariam Issoufou says about Process.
