Houda Ben Azzouz is a Brussels-based cultural, curatorial, and artistic researcher. With a background in journalism, information design, and Middle Eastern cultural studies, and eight years of experience as a diversity and inclusion advisor, her work looks at how cultural frameworks take shape and how they are experienced through images, spaces, and the way these are designed and organised.
She works through artistic and curatorial research, producing installations, hybrid publications, printmaking, projections, photography, and written work. Across these forms, she is interested in symbolic, narrative, and spatial ways of making meaning, and in bringing to the surface the often unspoken frameworks that shape how we see, understand, and relate to the world around us.
Drawing on her diverse experiences and interdisciplinary practice, she explores how some voices come to be heard while others remain overlooked, how recognition and respect circulate, and how institutions and cultural systems play a role in these dynamics. At the heart of her work is a concern with how such systems influence what is considered visible, accessible, and valuable within the cultural sector and beyond.
