Houda Bakkali has signed the first-ever global educational and digital art project inspired by Don Quijote de la Mancha, widely regarded as the most universal work in world literature. Conceived as a multidisciplinary and future-facing initiative, the project brings together immersive art, new technologies, audiovisual and multimedia content, alongside a series of masterclasses exploring the intersection of art and technology: IA, Web3, XR and AR.
The project was officially presented on International Book Day in 2023 and 2024 at the Casa de Castilla-La Mancha in Madrid, positioning classical literature within a contemporary digital and educational framework.
Bakkali’s tribute to Don Quixote has received international recognition, earning an Honorable Mention from the New York–based publisher Graphis and inclusion in the prestigious ILLO21 directory. The work has also appeared on the cover of Art Reveal Magazine (Germany), further amplifying its global visibility.
Exhibited across major European cultural venues, the project has been showcased at the Salon International d’Art Contemporain in Monaco; the Art Exhibition at Casino Barrière Biarritz; solo exhibitions at the Parador de Lorcaand the Parador de Córdoba; and an extended exhibition at the Regional House of Castilla-La Mancha in Madrid.
Through this project, Houda Bakkali reimagines a literary icon through the lens of digital culture, bridging heritage, education, and emerging technologies to create a living, global narrative for the 21st century.
