Photojournalist Nadia Ferroukhi, born to a Czech mother and an Algerian father, grew up between several cultures, in a deeply nomadic spirit. Since an early age, she has traveled the world with camera in hand, searching for human stories and fragments of life. Her work has been published in the French and international press and exhibited in galleries and museums.

Polyglot and endlessly curious, she brings a sensitive and committed perspective to the diversity of the world, giving visibility to those too often overlooked and a voice to realities that frequently remain unseen.

Through her images, she reveals singular stories that deepen our understanding of the world. At a time when borders are sometimes closing not only across territories but also within minds, her work seeks to remind us of the beauty of cultural diversity and the importance of preserving connections between peoples. For several years, she has been developing long-term projects, with particular attention to the condition of women around the globe.

Driven by a fascination with the great women explorers of the 19th century — pioneers who braved hostile territories as well as the prejudices of an era when women did not enjoy the same rights they do today (even though there is still a long way to go) — she identifies not with their time, but with their boldness and determination to bear witness to the world despite the obstacles.

In 2008, she founded the association Douniatou to support Ltungai, a Samburu women’s village in Kenya, at the heart of her project The Matriarchs.

Speaks & writes fluently French, English, German, Czech and notions in Arabic.
Currently learning Spanish ;-)
