At UZIK, inclusivity, diversity, equality, and well-being are fundamental principles that guide our human resources and corporate social responsibility practices. We believe that fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace leads to a stronger and more innovative team. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. By prioritizing the well-being of our employees, we aim to create a supportive and nurturing atmosphere that promotes personal growth and professional success.

These values are deeply embedded in our organizational culture and drive our commitment to creating a positive impact on our workforce. We may have stumbled and faced setbacks, but those moments have served as valuable lessons on our journey towards improvement.

Cause-based projects
Each year, UZIK dedicates the time and expertise of our creative and project teams to support associations. In 2022, we had the privilege to work with AFSA, the French Association for Angelman Syndrome, on a project to create a short institutional video.
Diversity
We believe in fostering an equitable work environment where diversity is celebrated and everyone is empowered to succeed. Diversity isn't just about representation, it's about embracing different perspectives and harnessing the power of collective intelligence.
Equity
UZIK is committed to ensuring equal opportunities in employment, regardless of origin, gender, customs, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, family status, pregnancy status, race, political opinions, union activities, religious beliefs, physical appearance, family name, place of residence, health status, or disability.
Inclusion
Our commitment to inclusion extends to inclusive language in job and internship postings. We ensure equal opportunities by incorporating gender-neutral writing. We guarantee fairness and promote equal chances for all applicants. Yet inclusion is the art of creating a space where every voice is heard.

Bruit de Fond

As an in-house initiative, Bruit de Fond aims to foster the emergence of new talents. Conceived as a photographic residency, Bruit de Fond also offers a new perspective on our music festival, Calvi On The Rocks, that has evolved over the past two decades into a haven for introspection, exploration and artistic renewal. It was high time to delve deeper into its essence, presenting a new outlook on the festival by tuning down music into nothing more than a background noise, un Bruit de Fond, that subtly blurs the lines between visible and invisible.

Each summer, a different artist will be invited to contribute a new layer, expanding the perception of Calvi, asking fundamental questions related to photography in an increasingly visually saturated world.

For the inaugural edition of Bruit de Fond, Christopher Barraja collaborates with UZIK on a new series of images captured within a limited timeframe during his summer exploration of the Calvi Bay.

This series questions the possibility of subjectivity in photography. Through traditional genres like portraiture, still life and landscape, Christopher Barraja pushes the boundaries of perception, merging intimacy with social observations.

On September 7th 2023 at Galerie MR80 in Paris, UZIK presented the first edition of Bruit de Fond, including the exclusive work from photographer Christopher Barraja.

As a final step of this collaboration, the photo book brings together all the images and becomes Christopher Barraja’s soundtrack. Snapshots are assembled and isolated. Boundaries of each image are alternately preserved and transgressed, letting the musicality of the photographer's work emerge.
