Cannes

Houda Bakkali began her artistic journey in 2008, establishing a distinctive visual language where digital art, femininity, and emerging technologies converge. Her international recognition arrived in Cannes in 2018, when she received the New Talent Award at the Festival International Artistes du Monde, an event supported by the City of Cannes and the media outlet Nice-Matin., becoming the only artist at the festival to present a fully digital exhibition. Centered on Africa, the Arab female figure, and contemporary narratives of freedom and identity, the project introduced a refined and innovative approach to digital creation.

Conceived as a vibrant tribute to Paris and the Louvre Museum, the project brought together animation, colour and interactive experiences, expanding the dialogue between digital innovation, cultural heritage and public space.
