New Earth Dialogues: In conversation with Mariam Issoufou

New Earth Dialogues is a series of conversations exploring our collective future grounded in regeneration and abundance - of New Earth Dialogues is a series of conversations exploring our collective future grounded in regeneration and abundance, of the Earth, of humanity, and of spirit. You are invited to our next conversation in partnership with Madame Architect, featuring Mariam Issoufou, a visionary architect, researcher, and educator whose work bridges identity, place, and history across continents — from the Sahel to the halls of ETH Zurich. As the Founding Principal of Mariam Issoufou Architects, she leads a research-based practice with offices in Niamey, New York, and Zurich, whose completed projects — including the Hikma Community Complex and the Dandaji Regional Market — redefine what architecture can mean for communities rooted in distinct cultural and ecological landscapes. Recognized with the UN's 2025 Champion of the Earth Award, the Prince Claus Award, and multiple LafargeHolcim honors, Mariam has built a body of work that treats sustainability not as an aesthetic, but as a radical act of care and equity. In this conversation, Mariam will explore how architecture can serve as social practice — weaving together memory, belonging, and ecological responsibility to imagine built environments that honor both the past and the futures we are called to create. Join us for an evening of ideas, inspiration, and dialogue at the intersection of heritage, sustainability, and the power of design to transform lives. Tuesday, June 2, 2026 — 6:00pm–7:30pm Another Tomorrow, 135 Wooster Street, New York Space is limited to maintain the intimacy that makes these dialogues meaningful. RSVP via Luma to secure your spot.
