Mariam M. AlNoaimi is a Bahrain-based artist born in Manama, Bahrain, in 1990. She currently resides and works in A’ali, Bahrain. She obtained her master's in Urban Design from the University of Colorado, Denver, in 2017 as a Fulbright scholar.

Her installations, video pieces, photography, collages, and participatory works examine questions around cartography, cognitive mapping, the built and natural environment, identity, memory, and storytelling.
Her art has been featured in the Bahrain Fine Art Annual Exhibition since 2014, where she received the Al-Dana Prize in 2021 and 2022. Her work has been exhibited widely within Bahrain, and she has also been showcased internationally.
