Johanna Tordjman is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, design, and creative direction, transforming archives, heritage, and everyday objects into contemporary forms.
Working across painting, sculpture, and design, her practice draws from family archives, diasporic histories, and vernacular forms. Archival photographs, domestic materials, and personal stories become starting points for new visual languages that sit between art, design, and cultural storytelling.
Through exhibitions, objects, and collaborations, Tordjman builds contemporary works rooted in transmission, where the past is not preserved, but reactivated.

About
Tordjman’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at Art Basel in Miami, Hong Kong, and Basel. In 2019, she was named one of Vanity Fair’s “30 Under 30 Shaping the Future of France.” Her acclaimed series 25h01 (2021) and Octobre 61 (2025) draw from family archives to honor stories of exile and intergenerational resilience.

Through a deeply personal yet universally resonant visual language, Johanna Tordjman celebrates the faces, histories, and emotional landscapes that define diasporic experience.
