Rita Hajj, awarded with a residence by the figures dissidentes
5th Edition — IMA Friends Prize for young Arab contemporary creation.
The Jury chose the Lebanese artist Rita Hajj, winner of the 2020 IMA Friends Prize for young contemporary Arab creation. The winning artist Rita Hajj will benefit from a three-month residency at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris and a grant of 5,000 euros which will allow her to produce an original work: figures dissidentes. The work will be revealed to the public as part of the next event of the Arab World Institute, Arab Divas, inaugurated in April 2020. The work will then integrate the collections of the IMA museum.
