Tanger Experience, december 2013.
Mounat Charrat was born in Casablanca in 1965, where she currently works and resides. In parallel to her diploma in applied, foreign languages, she received artistic training in Académie Julian and Académie Charpentier in Paris.
Since the beginning of the 2000s, Mounat has developed an adaptable, artistic practice that poetically and philosophically questions the human condition. Through a range of medium, she explores the universal history of the individual and examines the relationship of memory and intimacy with the world they are evolving in.
She searches for a rhetoric through an operating world, halted, leaving place for intuition and the questioning of time and space
She has participated in a number of exhibitions in Morocco and abroad: “Sens et contre sens”, Installation at the Institut Français (Casablanca), Journées culturelles du Maroc (Canary Islands), Galerie Mohamed El Fassi, (Rabat), Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), Galerie Crous Beaux-Arts (Paris), Galerie Shart (Casablanca), Nature et paysage, Société Générale (Casablanca), Insoumission, (Marrakech Genève, New York), Persona, Yakin&Boaz galerie (Casablanca). “Femmes artistes marocaines de la modernité 1960-2016”, Museum Mohamed VI of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat (Morocco), galerie Abla Ababou (Rabat). Additionally present in biennales such as: the Casablanca Biennale (2012), Off Biennale Dak’Art aux Comptoirs du fleuve à Saint Louis (2012). Her work is part of a few permanent collections, including the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum in Rabat, Société Générale, (Casablanca) Groupe Alliances (Casablanca), Collection Sauvage (Paris), Mairie du Mans (Le Mans).
