Fatoumata Gandega is a multi-disciplinary artist. Her work stems from the experience of people of immigrant background living in Europe. Through her work, she seeks to amplify marginalised voices by exploring intersectional identities and community empowerment.
Her first documentary Where The Heart Is was an official selection of the Catalyst International Film Festival 2024. Her latest project, Beyond Borders, has been supported by the European Parliament and other European Union organisations.
Fatoumata was one of six British directors selected for the International Documentary Association's Getting Real 24 delegation in Los Angeles. She was recently awarded the Fire Station Artists Studio Catalyst Residency.
