Discover the life and work of the women of the FAMM
(Born 1977)
Photographer
French-Senegalese
Born into a Franco-Senegalese background where creativity was paramount, Delphine Diallo initially dabbled in music and design before her encounter with Peter Beard propelled her into photography. Her artistic quest? To challenge sexist and racist clichés through her images, transforming her female models into mythological icons through meticulous work on appearance and accessorization. Collaboration and ethics are at the heart of her creative process, allowing her to forge strong connections with her subjects and infuse a spiritual and mythological dimension into her work.
Diallo's exploration of spiritual symbols and legends highlights the place of Black women in a reinvented pantheon. Expanding her technical horizons to include digital, analog, self-portraiture, and even artificial intelligence, Diallo continuously enriches her visual language. Her work invites us to revisit our perceptions, offering a fresh and bold perspective on femininity, identity, and culture. She envisions a future where the representation of women is central, imagining a world where matriarchal values predominate.
