Tarek Lakhrissi
°1992 in Châtellerault (FR) – lives and works in Paris (FR)
Tarek Lakhrissi is a French poet and artist who has a particular interest in conversations about race, class and gender. His captivating poems and installations, borrow their aesthetics from a dazzling and vibrant pop culture, aiming to transform traditional narratives. Lakhrissi often uses autofiction – the interfusion of a biographical report with fictional elements – as a tool. Therefore he simultaneously offers his audiences opportunities for identification and tells an imagined story through a myriad of layers.
