KABRIT Animation Projects www.kabrit.org • instagram.com/kabrit.961 • kabrit.prod@gmail.com • +33(0)641870613 BIO Kabrit (1994) starts painting as of 2007 in the street. Early on, the free and accessible aspect of graffiti encourages him to convey ideas in public spaces. In an effort of diversifying his means of visual expressions, he explores shuffling mural painting, animation filmmaking and video mapping to tackle the multiple faces of his subjects of interest. And one always finds in his work this poetry, this desire to create dialogue and to draw attention to a gaping wound or too discreet a beauty, and this propensity to bring about forgotten memories or an urge to act.
