Amira Louadah

Amira Louadah is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. Having grown up in a multilingual and sometimes exclusionary environment in Algeria, she perceives languages—video, photo, colors, objects—as materials to communicate beyond words, through sensation. She conducted her first field recordings during formative stays in Chang Mai (Thailand) and New York (USA), exploring spaces created by cultural gaps, not for differentiation but to create fertile grounds for translation and interpretation.

Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI — Les Ateliers) (Paris), she applies her analytical and strategic design vision to her artistic work. She has been invited to present her projects by institutions such as the Sharjah Art Foundation, the London School of Economics, Pôle Pixel, and the Institut français d’Algérie. Her latest film, L’Arche, won the Renaud Victor Prize at Fid Marseille and has been selected in official competition at several international festivals, including the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, RIDM, and the Camden Film Festival.

Through audiovisual, photographic, and performative projects, she questions and explores the renewal of the imagination associated with the city and the bodies inhabiting it, as well as forms of control, domination, and resistance of the body.
