Ouma

"Through my art, I defend the Arab, Muslim, artist, veiled and free woman of today! What I am, in fact," explains Ouméma Bouassida, a 25 year-old graduate in clothing design and graphic designer, cheerfully. In five years of practice, the young woman has managed to impose herself in the world of Tunisian street art by giving life to walls, stairs, and other buildings. And by the force of (paint) bombs, the shy teenager gave way to a committed woman, better known under the pseudonym "Ouma".
