Maïa Taïeb (Paris, 2000) is a multi disciplinary artist based in Paris and Amsterdam.


Fuelled by a love for tools and craftsmanship, my practice dances in equilibrium with different mediums and what they offer me.
Through sculpture and installations, I explore my materialistic obsessions. Using these tangible forms, I transpose my imaginary fantasies into a palpable reality.
My sculptural practice often encounters video making, entering a great playground for blurring lines between props and furniture.
With a keen eye for cinematic storytelling, I use moving images to delve into topics that relate to my personal identity and the societal conditions that shape it. From childhood fears and dreams to screams for bodily freedom, I like to address urgent topics with a playful use of various mediums.

Using playfulness as a tool for political gestures, my work counteracts violence whilst acting in resistance.

I think of my practice as a living being, growing with my experiences, both ‘expressing’ and ‘telling me’ about who I am and where I am. My work opens windows to playgrounds for me to indulge, laugh, scream and obsess.

In 2020, I co-founded Cranberry Juice, a feminist artist collective raising awareness on gender and sexual inequalities and the future of contraception.
From  organizing a year-long lecture series inviting guests from all around Europe, to hosting a workshop to make your own DIY male contraceptive, this collective work gives a space for my activist desires to flourish.


Maïa Taïeb’s work has traveled to festivals such as Go Short Festival as well as galleries and museums like Gallerie Chloe Salgado (Paris), the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam) and The Eye film Museum (Amsterdam) whose Collection center recently acquired one of her works.
