Sara Ouhaddou (p.1986 Draguignan, France) is a French artist born into a traditional Moroccan family. This dual culture informs her practice as a continuous dialog. Ouhaddou strikes a balance between traditional Moroccan art forms and the conventions of contemporary art, aiming to reframe forgotten cultural realities.
