Yass & Mali

Yass & Mali are a dynamic artist duo whose collaborative work transcends cultural and disciplinary boundaries. Originally hailing from different continents—Yass from the urban heart of Paris and Mali from the vibrant streets of Accra—their partnership blossomed after meeting at a multidisciplinary art residency in Berlin. Yass’s background in experimental photography and Mali’s foundation in textile design blend together to create immersive visual experiences that explore identity, migration, and memory.

Their work has been exhibited in renowned galleries across Europe, Africa, and North America, earning accolades for their innovative use of materials ranging from reclaimed fabrics to digital projections. United by a passion for storytelling, Yass & Mali challenge traditional narratives while fostering dialogue through participatory installations, interactive workshops, and public murals. Their projects often engage local communities, highlighting marginalized voices and forging new connections between past and future.

As they continue to push the boundaries of contemporary art, Yass & Mali remain committed to using creativity as a tool for social transformation and cross-cultural understanding.
