Kayla Bouazouni is a graduate of the dual degree program between Sciences Po Paris and Columbia University, where she earned a Master’s Degree in Public Policy and Administration. Her academic focus centered on Cultural & Urban Policy as well as Cultural Management.

She is currently a Communications and Marketing Coordinator at David Zwirner Paris. Prior to this, she worked in the cultural programming team at the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, contributing to the development & production of concerts, talks, performances, and film programming.

Originally from Greater Paris, Kayla grew up immersed in visual and performing arts, which shaped her commitment to the cultural and creative industries. She is particularly interested in cross-institutional programming and how marrying artistic fields, like combining music with painting, or dance with film, can create accessible entry points to contemporary art. Her work centers on helping younger audiences feel more comfortable engaging with contemporary visual arts, performance, theatre, music, and cinema.

She has worked across the US, Europe, and Asia, with experience at institutions including the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Hauser & Wirth, and the Ford Foundation. She has also served as a grant panelist with the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and interned as an Artist Liaison at Gagosian.

Kayla holds a BA in Performing and Media Arts from Cornell University, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude for her honors thesis film Growing Pains and was commissioned to paint a mural in the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts.

She loves plays and enjoys drawing and photography in her free time. She now lives in Paris and returns to New York regularly.
