Nene Aïssatou Diallo (born in Guinea; lives between Newark, NJ and Brooklyn, NY) is an artist working across mediums. In her work, she resists legacies of erasure and grounds her practice in memories of home and the displacement inherent with migration. Her starting point is often her family photo albums, objects, and materials sourced and collected between Newark, Harlem, Brooklyn, Conakry, and Dakar.
Diallo has exhibited nationally and held residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, Index Art Center, Gallery Aferro, Project for Empty Space, The Residency Project, and STONELEAF RETREAT. Her work has been featured by Format, Monument Lab Bulletin, NPR, RVA Magazine, The Financial Times, and most recently, at the 13th edition of the Bamako Encounters – African Biennale of Photography.
