Ladji Diaby is a French-Malian artist born in 2000 and a graduate of the Beaux-Arts de Paris. His installations combine found objects, image, and video, blending political magic with social alchemy.

His work explores the cultural, spiritual, and liberating dimensions of personal and collective narratives.

Ladji Diaby’s work was recently presented in his first institutional solo exhibition, No one has ever called their child hunger, at Kunstverein Nürnberg, Germany (2024–2025). His work has also been featured in numerous group exhibitions: Partenaires Particulaires: SUPPORTS, SURFACES, DISSÉMINATION at Fondation CAB, Saint-Paul de Vence (2025), as well as in Autohistorias at Beaux-Arts de Paris (2024), It was a hot day, a day that was blue all through at Galerie Crèvecœur, Paris (2024), and Gold Plated Prophecies at Forde Art Centre, Geneva (2023). Previous exhibitions include Is Something Missing? at FRAC Corse (2023), Target Group at Braunsfelder, Cologne (2023), the DNA program FEAR OF A BLACK PLANET at Beaux-Arts de Paris (2023), Les Urbaines at Espace Arlaud, Lausanne (2022), and DAHABIYY at 35.37, Paris (2022).

In 2024, he took part in a collective residency at Villa Medici in Rome, invited by the collective Les Chichas de la Pensée.

His work is currently on display in Felicità 2025 at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, which brings together the 24 artists who obtained their national higher diploma in visual arts with honors in 2025 (until February 1, 2026).
