Attandi Trawalley is a multidisciplinary artist and graduate from Paris VIII University and the Villa Arson National School of Art in Nice.

Her recent exhibitions include: La Grande Halle de la Villette (Paris), “100% L’EXPO”, 2024; Galerie Selebe Yoon (Dakar), “Vertigineuses”, 2024; Villa Arson (Nice), “Terminus Mutations”, 2022; Centre de Création Contemporaine Olivier Debré (Tours), “Postcorps”, 2022; Centre Wallonie Bruxelles (Paris), “LABO DÉMO FERMÉ 24/24 7/7”, 2021; “Straight Lick” (Digital), 2020; and Galerie Le Génie de la Bastille (Paris), “Gestuelle émotive: vestige de soi”, 2021. In 2023, she presented her first solo exhibition, “Care as a Color”, at Consulat Voltaire. She develops an artistic practice at the intersection of installation, performance, sculpture, image, and publishing. Her work explores practices of care, self-reappropriation, and the notions of transmission and the everyday nature of gestures, through an investigation of Black feminine subjectivities and fragmented family narratives. By assembling her work, Attandi raises questions about an individual’s sense of self within and beyond the collective.

Attandi Trawalley was born in 1996. She works and lives in Paris.
