Bio:
MAryam Touzani is a visual storyteller whose work delves into themes of diaspora, identity, and existential rootlessness. Drawing from her personal experience navigating Dutch and Moroccan heritage, her practice reveals the hidden narratives that emerge where these cultures overlap, conflict, and intersect. Through a distinctive visual language, she examines both the layers of identity and the disparities inherent in these experiences. Her work explores stories of resilience and survival amid the tensions and historical violence embedded in these narratives. In 2023 Touzani completed her bachelor’s degree in Photography from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
Touzani's work has been featured at the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz Foundation during Rencontres d'Arles 2024, and she has been selected for the FOAM Talent program for 2024-2025.
