Mariam Magsi 

​

 

 

Mariam Magsi (she/they) is a Karachi-born, Toronto-based actor, voiceover artist, photographer, and writer whose work bridges visual art, performance, and storytelling.

 

Rooted in Baloch–Punjabi heritage, Mariam’s multidisciplinary practice explores memory, migration, intimacy, and power through the body, voice, and image.

 

Drawing from lived experience, archival material, and orally transferred intergenerational histories, Mariam's work foregrounds emotionally grounded narratives shaped by displacement, resistance, family and belonging.

​

Mariam recently wrapped a lead role in an independent film and is actively auditioning for on-screen and voiceover work, bringing narrative precision, emotional range, and an embodied approach to character.

​

Mariam holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media & Design from OCAD University and a BFA with Honours in Studio Art and English Literature from the University of Toronto.

 

Mariam's work has been featured and exhibited internationally, including in VICE, Vogue Italia, CNN, British Journal of Photography, BlackFlash Magazine, and at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Pride Photo Amsterdam, SCOPE Miami, Sarajevo Photography Festival, and more.
