Kadidia Maria Ba• Visual Artist

I explore identity across cultures and create art at the intersection of tradition and the contemporary world.

I am a painter and visual artist. For over 10 years, I have been creating and working artistically in Poland and abroad. My practice includes both studio work, as well as performance art, participatory projects, and exhibitions.

I am interested in what is alive and inherited—gestures, symbols, rituals that permeate everyday life and art. In my practice, I draw on images, materials, and forms that speak of memory, the body, emotions, and community. My work is a process of connecting, reconstructing, and questioning. It is a space of encounter—between the personal and the common.

More about me

Projects

In my projects, I explore themes of identity, the body, inheritance, and femininity. I create images, objects, and performance actions that stem from personal experiences but are rooted in community contexts. I work with symbolic materials, textiles, photography, and sound. I am interested in process—both creative and the one that occurs between the artist and the viewer.

I undertake individual and collective projects, often engaging local communities, women, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds. My work has taken place in galleries, public spaces, and online—both in Poland and abroad. For me, art is a tool for dialogue, reclaiming memory, and creating new narratives.
