L’Alliance Française Makassar, Indonesia hosts “Digital Art, Digital Culture” by Houda Bakkali from 09-28-2024 to 10-28-2024

This exhibition seeks to exemplify the power of digital art to break spatial, temporal and generational borders, creating synergies between different audiences and making art not only timeless, but also universal, close and understandable.

“I am very grateful to AF Makassar for their welcome, support, kindness and professionalism. It is a great honor to exhibit my work in Makassar, Indonesia, a city full of color and joy, and to do so with the exceptional hosts of AF Makassar. Alliance Française Makassar is the perfect meeting point between the best of our heritage and the most innovative vision of the future. A meeting point between education, culture and art” said Houda Bakkali.

This exhibition features not only some of Bakkali’s most recognized masterpieces inspired but also it will feature educational content about digital art, creative process and uses of art and new technologies.

“Digital art is not a trend, it is the present and the future. My art represents the need to tell stories through captivating and surprising environments, in which the viewer can immerse themselves, as is the case with augmented reality. It’s a way to experience a variety of sensations and emotions with my artwork. It also allows me to expand the story and give it life or several lives, as many as I want. In addition, it’s a way to create more fun and unique environments,  involving the viewer in my artwork and making it grow over time with new stories, settings and characters” said Houda Bakkali.

Bakkali’s exhibition, hosted by AF Makassar, Indonesia, is the best example of the versatility of digital art. Its ability to share synergies with different audiences around the world without borders.
