Wafa Lazhari

Born in 1994 in Tunis (Tunisia)

With a training in architecture, Wafa Lazhari is a Tunisian visual artist and filmmaker. She entered Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains in 2024. Her artistic practice stems from the conceptual approach she developed during her years studying architecture. She explores moments of transition and transformation between reality and memory through media such as film, animation and drawing. The convergence of these mediums activates narrative devices. Her work has been show at the Villa Medici in Rome and at Kadist in Paris. Among contemporary art events in which she has featured are Les Instants Vidéo in Marseille, Dream City in Tunis and Jaou in Tunis. Her films have been selected for international festivals including the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
