About

Born in 1980 in Lens, France, Halida Boughriet pioneers an interdisciplinary practice across performance, video, and photography. Her work explores the intersections of reality and fiction, addressing aesthetic, social, and political themes to reveal the complexities of human relationships. Using the body as a tool of experimentation, she deconstructs stereotypes and highlights subjectivities that have been erased from visual culture for a long time. Through her practice, Boughriet delivers an examination of historiography and the construction of collective memory, with a focus on marginalized and invisibilized individuals. Her work has been showcased in the Centre Pompidou, MAC VAL, the Musée d’Art Moderne d’Alger, and the Berggruen Museum in Berlin. She has participated in Elles@CentrePompidou, the Dakar Biennale, and the Rabat Biennial, and has received the Moët Hennessy–Louis Vuitton (LVMH) Prize and the Urbanity Prize.
