Berrekki

Berrekki is a young visual artist and typographer who graduated from the École supérieure des arts plastiques et visuels de Mons (ESAPV) in 2009. After completing his studies, he took part in the Recycling collective project until 2016. The objective of the collective was to create artistic works from ‘rubbish’ found in abandoned places. In 2016, Berrekki joined the Burn Crew typographic collective based in Lisbon. This collective uses the written word to breathe new life into forgotten and abandoned places. The locations are carefully chosen to awaken citizens to the world around them. Berrekki’s practice within the collective lies in questioning the contribution of aesthetic intervention in the urban environment. Drawing on the feelings and emotions that can be conveyed in each of us, the aim of the in situ typographic work is to generate a common reflection. Since 2016, Berrekki has been working in Belgium, France and Portugal.
