Anna Binta Diallo is an interdisciplinary visual artist who explores themes of memory and nostalgia to create unexpected works about identity. She was born in Dakar, Senegal, and grew up in Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, and was based in Montreal for fifteen years. Inspired by her own life journey, at the crossroads of Franco-Manitoban and Senegalese heritages, her practice focuses on identity issues. Through collage, her favorite technique, she considers cultural heritage as a constellation in constant reconfiguration. Memories, dreams and forgotten histories converge in a personal encounter with global issues such as the celebration of diasporic identities, the consequences of historical trauma, the uprooting brought about by migration, and the need to attend to the symbiotic relations that connect us to other forms of life on Earth.[2][3][4][5]

Biography[edit]

Anna Binta Diallo was born in Dakar, Senegal in 1983, daughter of Ibrahima Diallo[6] and Lise Gaboury-Diallo, both professors, and granddaughter of architect Étienne Gaboury, and Claire Breton Gaboury, a ceramist.[7]

Diallo holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba in 2006 and an MFA from the Transart Institute in Berlin in 2013. She is the recipient of several awards and distinctions, including Francofonds, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Council of Arts and Letters of Québec. Her works have been exhibited wildly in Canada and abroad.

She is currently an assistant professor at the School of Art at the University of Manitoba, on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the Métis Nation. In 2022, she unveiled her first major public artwork, a mural integrated into the architecture of the Espace Denis Savard, at the Verdun Auditorium in Montreal.[8]

Her works are in the collections of including; EQ Bank; RBC Royal Bank, and Scotiabank. 

In August 2022, Anna Binta shows her talent in images in the borough of Verdun in Montreal by occupying the entire main wall of the Espace Denis Savard, at the Verdun Auditorium, the mural Errances à Verdun features highlights from the past and present through a gallery of characters. A colorful and lively fresco made of mosaic and aluminum, the work reflects the history of Verdun, its population, its identity, its sporting, cultural and social activities, its nature, its historical reality and its folklore.[9]
