Sara Ouhaddou is a Franco-Moroccan artist who lives and works between Morocco and France. Born in France to a Moroccan family, her dual heritage forms the basis of an ongoing dialogue that influences her artistic practice. She skilfully navigates between traditional forms and contemporary frameworks, seeking to restore overlooked cultural continuities by offering new perspectives. Working in situ, she develops projects based on encounters with communities, artisans and researchers, while exploring heritage objects and sites. Each of her works becomes a space for learning, knowledge sharing and transmitting intimate or universal stories.
She is a graduate of the École Olivier de Serres in Paris and has exhibited in major shows such as Moroccan Trilogy at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid (2021), Global Resistance at the Centre Pompidou in Paris (2020), Manifesta – Trait-Union in Marseille (2020), Our World is Burning (Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2020), the Islamic Art Festival (Sharjah, 2017–18), Crafts Become Modern (Bauhaus Dessau Foundation, Germany, 2017) and the Marrakech Biennale (2016). She has also participated in several residency programmes: Villa Albertine (2023); IASPIS in Stockholm (2021–2022); Art Explora x Cité Internationale des Arts (2021); and Cité Internationale des Arts x Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation (2020–2021). Currently, her works are exhibited at the MACAAL in Marrakech until June 2025. She is represented by Galerie Polaris in Paris. Image : Sara Ouhaddou, Photo © Saudi Arabia Ministry of Culture |
