Takoua Ben Mohamed

I’m an Italian graphic designer of Tunisian descent. I was born in Tunisia but raised in Rome, Italy, where I also completed my studies. I graduated in Animation Cinema at the Nemo Academy of Digital Arts in Florence. I am passionate about storytelling, especially true stories, which is why I have published several graphic novels.

I also love cinema, and this passion led me to co-found the film production company BM Entertainment Ltd, where I work as Executive Producer. My first major achievement was Hijab Style, a documentary we produced for Al Jazeera Documentary Channel.

In addition, I work as a graphic designer for the RaiPlay TV show Risorgimento Digitale, where I created short animations for each episode. I have served as art director for several animated campaigns, including the 8x1000 Valdesecampaign, the subscription campaign for Confronti Magazine, and the European Union’s campaign against racism towards Muslim women, Look Beyond the Prejudice.

I have also collaborated as a graphic journalist and comic artist with various magazines such as Piccolo Missionario, Confronti Magazine, 7 Corriere, La Stampa Origami, Il Secolo XIX, Just Bake, Village Universel, Rete Near, and Riccio Capriccio. My work has earned me several awards, including the Evans European Journalism Prize (2019), the Moneygram Award (2016), the “Premio Prato Città Aperta” journalistic recognition (2016), the Muslim International Book Award (2017), the “Triafuorilalingua” Award (2018), the FIDAPA Award (2019), and the “Acquaformosa” Award (2021).
