Mounat Charrat

Mounat Charrat was born in Casablanca in 1965, where she currently lives and works. Alongside her degree in Applied Foreign Languages, she received artistic training at the Académie Julian and the Académie Charpentier in Paris.

Since the early 2000s, Mounat has developed a versatile artistic practice that poetically and philosophically questions the human condition. Through various mediums, she explores the universal history of the individual and examines the relationship between memory, intimacy, and the world in which they evolve.

She seeks a rhetoric through an operative, suspended world, leaving space for intuition and for challenging notions of time and space.

She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Morocco and abroad: Sens et contre sens, Installation at the Institut Français (Casablanca); Cultural Days of Morocco (Canary Islands); Mohamed El Fassi Gallery (Rabat); Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris); Galerie Crous Beaux-Arts (Paris); Galerie Shart (Casablanca); Nature et paysage, Société Générale (Casablanca); Insoumission (Marrakech, Geneva, New York); Persona, Galerie Yakin&Boaz (Casablanca). She also took part in Women Moroccan Artists of Modernity 1960–2016 at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat (Morocco) and at Galerie Abla Ababou (Rabat).

Her work has also been shown in biennales such as the Casablanca Biennale (2012) and the Off Biennale Dak’Art at Comptoirs du Fleuve in Saint-Louis (2012). Her pieces are included in several permanent collections, notably the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Rabat), Société Générale (Casablanca), Groupe Alliances (Casablanca), Collection Sauvage (Paris), and the City of Le Mans (Le Mans).
