Mariam Adesokan (b. 2001, Ireland) is an image-based artist focusing on the relationships between people and space. She navigates this interest through architecture, set design and installation.
Conceptually, Mariam’s work aims to portray Blackness situated in otherworldly, uncanny but ultimately beautiful contexts.
Mariam Adesokan is also a Central Saint Martins graduate, engaging in librarianship & archives in conjunction with her other practices.

From The Author of the Acacia Seeds
and Other Extracts
And with them, or after them, may there not come that even bolder adventurer — the first geolinguist, who, ignoring the delicate, transient lyrics of the lichen, will read beneath it the still less communicative, still more passive, wholly atemporal, cold, volcanic poetry of the rocks: each one a word spoken, how long ago, by the earth itself, in the immense solitude, the immenser community, of space.
