Born in 1971, lives and works in Paris.

By way of the photographic medium, Malala Andrialavidrazana interrogates barriers and interactions within cross-cultural contexts, thoughtfully shifting between private spaces and global considerations to explore social imaginaries. Over time, she has invented a language whose approach is resolutely turned toward history, while simultaneously evidencing a profound engagement with contemporary issues and developments. Based on extensive in situ as well as bibliographic and archival research, her visual compositions open up the possibility of alternative forms of storytelling and history-making. Her recent shows include exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo (Figures,2024), Wereld Museum in Rotterdam, Netherlands (2024) and Espace Art Absolument in Paris (2024).
