Randa Maroufi's “Bab Sebta” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2020, category Computer Animation.
Bab Sebta consists of a series of reconstructed situations based on observations made on the border of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on Moroccan soil that provides the scene for an intense trafficking of manufactured goods, sold at discounted prices. Every day, thousands of people work there.
