A legal representative at the Paris Bar and writer, Nihed El Baroudi combines legal rigour with literary sensitivity. Through her projects, she explores the links between justice, culture and narrative, asserting a committed voice that questions our relationship with the world and the stories we choose to tell.

In 2020, she published Maroc, où vas-tu ? (Morocco, where are you going?) with Éditions L'Harmattan, a collection inspired by conversations with Moroccan taxi drivers, combining personal confidences, collective memory and insights into a society in flux. She is also the voice of the podcast Droit au jeu, produced by the Paris Bar Association for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a series that combines sport, ethics and law.

Alongside photographer Mathieu Courdesses, she contributes to artistic projects where nature and humanity interact. Nihed El Baroudi is currently working on her first novel. She will be among the guests of honour at the 2025 Women of Influence Gala.

Director of the Museum and Exhibitions at the Arab World Institute since 2021, Nathalie Bondil is leading the transformation of this institution into a venue open to modern and contemporary Arab arts. A French-Canadian museologist and art historian, she has a humanist vision in which the museum becomes a living space, permeated by cultural exchanges and different perspectives on the world.

Prior to joining the IMA, she spent thirteen years as director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where she initiated major projects and designed exhibitions combining visual arts, cinema and music. She developed a pioneering approach linking art, health and well-being, notably with the first museum-based medical prescriptions and the creation of the Pavilion pour la Paix.

A teacher and researcher, and a leading figure in museum therapy, she lectures at the École du Louvre and the University of Montreal. Involved in several international cultural bodies, she advocates for a citizen-focused and universal museum. Nathalie Bondil will be among the guests of honour at the 2025 Women of Influence Gala.

Co-founder of Artpoint with Julie Corver, Laurie Bonin is one of those people who are reinventing our relationship with art. By integrating digital creation into everyday spaces — offices, hotels, commercial or institutional venues — she transforms living environments into immersive, sensory and shared experiences.

Inspired by the convergence of art and technology, she designs visual worlds that blend innovation, identity and emotion. Her ambition is to make art accessible to all, not as mere decoration, but as a genuine cultural experience that brings meaning and well-being.

Committed to artistic democratisation and promoting digital creators, Laurie Bonin is now part of the 100 Women in Culture network, in recognition of her impact on the contemporary scene.

We look forward to welcoming her to the 2025 Women of Influence Gala, alongside those who are shaping an inspiring dialogue between art, technology and humanity.
