Choumali, Joana

Born 1974 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire
Lives and works in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire

Joana Choumali, Will my dreams go away too, 2021, Embroidery on digital photography printed on canvas, 50 x 50 cm. Courtesy of Loft Art Gallery.  

Joana Choumali studied graphic design in Casablanca, Morocco. She then worked as artistic director with an advertising agency before beginning her professional photography career. Her work focuses upon Africa and most often reflects a documentary aspect. Her series Traduction, Adorn and Ça va aller also bear witness to a specific culture, moment, or geography. Since 2016, Choumali has integrated textiles into her photographic work. In the wake of her Ça va aller series, which followed the terrorist attacks at Grand Bassam in 2016, Joana Choumali’s work has evolved into a more dream-like world, as if to ward off the violence of this world. The artist won the 8th edition of the Prix Pictet in November 2019 on the theme of “Hope” with this same series.
