Born in 1977 in Moscow, Russia, Zoulikha Bouabdellah is a Franco-Algerian artist who graduated from the National School of Arts of Paris-Cergy in 2002. She currently lives and works in Casablanca. Her installations, videos and drawings question the dominant representations, icons, patterns and ornaments, by juxtaposing them, with global geopolitical issues linked to conflicts, sexuality and the condition of women in contemporary society. Zoulikha Bouadbedllah has been awarded numerous international prizes such as the Abraaj Capital Art Prize, the Meurice Prize for Contemporary Art, or that of the Villa Medicis Hors Les Murs.
