fatoumata Diallo
Fatoumata Diallo is an architect, designer, and writer whose work explores space as a medium for memory, resistance, and renewal. Her practice engages the intersections of architecture, storytelling, and decolonial thought, re-centering African and diasporic knowledge within the global design discourse. A graduate of Pratt Institute with a Bachelor of Architecture and a minor in Museum and Gallery Practices, her thesis reimagined health infrastructure in Siguiri, Guinea through an Afro-Indigenous futurist lens envisioning architecture as both healing and narrative form. At the Pan-African Biennale, Fatoumata supports the broader curatorial framework with a focus on developing the Biennale’s Archive a living repository dedicated to documenting and sharing the continent’s architectural practices, research, and collective memory. Her work across monument conservation, curatorial research, and visual strategy reflects a sustained commitment to amplifying underrepresented histories and transforming them into spatial futures that are equitable, inclusive, and imaginative.
