"Display" - Sara Ouhaddou
In the organizer's words:
In her artistic practice,Sara Ouhaddou explores the relationship between craftsmanship and art. In her solo exhibition "Display" at ifa-Galerie Berlin, she explores how the two intertwine and blurs the boundaries of classic "commissioning". Moroccan handicrafts were included in their diversity, commissioned or produced jointly with the artisans. The exhibition is accompanied by a sound installation by composer Leila Bencharnia, which responds to Sara Ouhaddou's work.
Sara Ouhaddou lives and works between Morocco and France. Born in France to a Moroccan family, her artistic practice is characterized by a constant dialogue between the two cultures. In her work, she strives for a balance between traditional art forms and the conventions of contemporary art and attempts to bring new perspectives to cultural practices that have fallen into oblivion. She explores historical sites and objects, works site-specifically and creates works based on encounters with communities, craftspeople and scientists. Each of her works is a project of learning, exchanging knowledge and sharing intimate or universal stories.
