Randa Maroufi
Randa Maroufi (1987, Morocco) is a visual artist and director whose practice steers a course between photography, video, and installation art. She is a graduate of the Institut National des Beaux-Arts in Tétouan, the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Angers, and Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains, and is interested in the staging of the body in public or intimate spaces. Her often political approach invokes ambiguity to question the status of images and the limits of representation.
