Sara Ouhaddou Solo Exhibition at Fondation Thalie in Arles
Sara Ouhaddou, a Franco-Moroccan artist born in 1986 in Draguignan, is showcasing her solo exhibition titled 'Take a Seat, Have Some Tea' at Fondation Thalie in Arles. This exhibition marks her as the second participant in the foundation's summer program. It includes a variety of recent works, many of which are being displayed for the first time, that explore traditional techniques in glass, ceramics, weaving, and embroidery. Ouhaddou's collaborations extend to Moroccan communities from the Atlas Mountains, Rif, Fez, and Marrakech, along with artisans from Tunisia and Japan. The Arabic title, 'Gaalsi, T’charbi kass d’atay', encourages engagement with these communities. Additionally, a collection of photographs from Morocco, Tunisia, and Japan captures workshops and their vibrant contexts, serving as inspiration for her sculptural creations. The exhibition is ongoing at Fondation Thalie in Arles.
