Myriame Alioualla
“I love telling stories through images. Even when I’m not doing architecture, I need to create in other ways.”
Myriame Alioualla is an architect, writing enthusiast, photographer, and transdisciplinary researcher.
With a degree from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux and a PhD in sociology, her work bridges the fields of architecture, visual arts, and social sciences.
Her research focuses on the historical, geographical, and social dynamics that shape human experiences of movement and migration, drawing from her own experience as a foreigner.
She explores themes of migration, borders, and identity using a combination of inhabited surveys, cartography, sketches, and photography, translating complex social issues into visual and written narratives.
This passion drives her creative practice and fuels her exploration of the relationship between art and society.
In her artistic practice, Myriame often works with oil pastels on paper, telling stories of both inner and outer revolution and rebirth, using the imagery of a city, its streets, and its people as metaphors.
She explores the idea of shedding what is no longer needed, symbolically setting a joyous fire to the past while keeping its ashes as a reminder of the journey.
Through these evocative themes, Myriame bridges the visual and emotional, conveying deep personal and collective transformation.
Her research has been published and exhibited, and she continues to push the boundaries of how we understand architecture, society, and visual storytelling.
