We are so excited to feature Mariam Magsi as our #ScarboroughSpotlight✨ this August! See the full Spotlight feature at scarborougharts.com — Mariam Magsi (@mariam_magsi) is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and educator whose practice spans photography, installation, performance, poetry and community arts facilitation. Born in Karachi, Pakistan, and based in Toronto, Canada, Mariam explores themes of identity, migration, gender, ritual, and social justice through intimate storytelling and critical visual inquiry. Mariam holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media & Design from OCAD University and a BFA with Honours in Studio Art and English Literature from the University of Toronto, Scarborough. She has also completed a Digital Photography Diploma at George Brown College and is certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction facilitation. Mariam’s work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally, including at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Gallery 44, Art Gallery of Mississauga, Gallery 1065, Moose Jaw Museum & Gallery, Sarajevo Photography Festival, Gallery TPW, Pride Photo Amsterdam, Indian Photo Festival, Art Basel Miami (with LOUPE Art) and more. Mariam is an active community leader and creative facilitator, serving as Program Lead for the Healthy Arts for Seniors Program at Scarborough Arts for the past four years. At the heart of Mariam’s practice is a deep commitment to inclusivity, nuance, radical care, creative curiosity and the co-creation of narratives that disrupt linearity. Mariam’s work refuses flattening and celebrates the layered complexities of diasporic life, gender, spiritual plurality, and the politics of belonging beyond borders. (fb)
