Sarra Badel is a French artist born in Tunisia and based in London UK. She works with mixed media installations, video and photography. Sarra is looking at how female’s bodies are represented and stereotypes associated with women and their roles in western contemporary societies. She is also interested in a more philosophical approach to that issue: the concept of touch in relation to looking. Taking these notions further by interrogating the relationship between these two senses Sarra opens a conversation about identity and image. Her work is “a touching experience translated into visual”. Sarra has an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art and an MA Fine Art from the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London.
