She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, in 2008. She creates mixed-media paintings on paper, book sculptures and video artworks using materials such as coffee, ink, banana fibre paper, charcoal, acrylic paint, canvas, found books and objects.<\/p>\n<p>As an artist, she enjoys exploring notions of identity and memory, emotions related to perceived gains and losses brought by contemporary and historical migration of individuals and groups. She often makes reference to fictional as well as historical narratives, questioning the role of images and objects in relation to memory and the act of re-membering events that relate in a personal and universal way. She held her first solo exhibition \u201cBon Voyage\u201d in Maputo, in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014 she spent 4 months at IWALEWAHAUS at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, as a curatorial fellow through a scholarship awarded by the Alexander Rave Foundation\/IFA. In 2017 she was invited to take part in the \u2018180\u00ba Artists of the South\u2019 (\u2018180\u00ba Artistas ao Sul\u2019) residency at <a href=\"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/en\">HANGAR &#8211; Centre for Artistic Research in Lisbon<\/a>, with funding from Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Calouste Gulbenkian.<\/p>\n<p>Maimuna is a member of <a href=\"http:\/\/kulungwana.org.mz\/\">Kulungwana Association<\/a> in Maputo, where she takes part in and collaborates periodically on exhibitions and workshops. The latest project she participates in, \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/clubofmozambique.com\/event\/gineceu-art-exhibition-kulungwana-free-entrance\/\">Giniceu<\/a>\u2019, opened its first exhibition in May 2019. It had the participation of creatives Carmen Maria, Djamila de Sousa, Gracinda Percina Cumbe, Lica Sebasti\u00e3o, Maimuna Adam, Ulica Abrantes, Suzette Honwana (Tiassu) and Wacy Zacarias, and was curated by Maria Elisa Chim.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Maimuna is working as a tutor alongside \u00c2ngela Ferreira in <a href=\"http:\/\/museucinemamoz.wixsite.com\/upcyclespalop\">UPCycles 2019<\/a>, a PALOP* Residency funded by FCGulbenkian and organized by \u2018Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Amigos do <a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/MuseuCinemaMocambique\">Museu do Cinema em Mo\u00e7ambique\u2019<\/a> (AAMCM). Participating artists are \u00c2ngelo Lopes, David Aguacheiro, Eliana N\u2019Zualo, Mariana Carrilho, Maril\u00fa N\u00e1moda, Samira Vera-Cruz and Sofia Yala Rodrigues. After a period of long-distance tutoring and individual development of video projects based on images and audio from personal and public archives, participants will meet to finalize their projects, install and present an exhibition at Nossa Senhora da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o fortress in Maputo, opening on 7th September 2019.<\/p>\n<p>*PALOP : Portuguese-speaking African countries (Portuguese: \u2018Pa\u00edses Africanos de L\u00edngua Oficial Portuguesa\u2019)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9606\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9606\" style=\"width: 798px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9606 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=696%2C487&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?w=798&amp;ssl=1 798w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=300%2C210&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=768%2C537&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=100%2C70&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=696%2C487&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/01-MaimunaAdam_EmpressIII-detail-from-series-TheEmpresses_2018_CoffeeCharcoalPaper.jpg?resize=601%2C420&amp;ssl=1 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Empress III&#8221; (from the series &#8220;The Empresses&#8221;), 2018.
