About Speaker

Born in 1991, French-Moroccan artist Mounir Ayache’s technological creations invite us to take a fresh look at the political and social realities of the Arab world. Using the codes of science fiction to blend family histories and the imaginary reappropriation of Arab experiences and identities, he is part of the unofficial trend of Arabfuturism, influenced by the Afrofuturism of the 1990s, which draws on fiction to propose alternative narratives. Mounir Ayache apes representations of the Other and the Stranger in Western fiction and uses new technologies to realise and transmit his ideas, blurring the boundaries between contemporary art and entertainment.
