Koffi Mbairamadji (Curator, Selection Panelist)
Koffi Mbairamadji, a native of Chad, started his paintings years ago as a habit, then it turned to be an interest and then, part of his daily life. He uses several sources of inspiration such as the Bible and from nature, which he sees as "God's fingerprints." Koffi was introduced to Intermedia Arts when he was selected as a featured artist in the first edition of Immigrant Status: Ndigmbe. He has been a part of numerous art shows in the Twin Cities including: the Fringe Festival, Seward Art Festival, Minneapolis Guards Show, Crossview Christian Art Festival, International Folk Art Show, St. Mark's Eppiscopal Church, St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, The Minneapolis Foundation and the Norwegian Memorial Lutheran Church. Koffi's talents reach out beyond the visual arts. He is working on editing an independent film which he wrote, directed and produced entitled "Le Mediateur" and has designed a children's book entitled "African Savannah Stories."
