Aïda Bruyère
About the Artist
Aïda Bruyère was born in Dakar, Senegal and lives and works in Paris. She graduated from École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2020 and was awarded the Grand Prize at the 64th Salon de Montrouge in 2019. Through a multidisciplinary practice encompassing installation, publication, printed image, performance, video and sound, her work investigates the representation of individual and collective identities in public and urban spaces, with a particular focus on feminist and post-colonial discourses. Drawing from vernacular cultures, dancehall and nightlife imagery, she dissects performative gestures and the politics of the body, exploring how popular aesthetics shape empowerment and social belonging.
Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Palais de Tokyo and Galerie PACT, Paris, and in numerous group shows in Europe and beyond, including the Saatchi Gallery in London, MAC VAL in Vitry and Zilberman Gallery in Istanbul.
