Mame-Diarra Niang was born in 1982, in Lyon, France and lives in Paris. She is a self-taught artist.
Her work explores the concept of the 'plasticity of territory', a moving space of the self shaped by time, memory and forgetting, where being continuously shifts, dissolves and reappears, unfolding through never ending metamorphosis. The self is approached as a territory in perpetual transformation, alive, fluid and ungraspable.
