A morroccan visual artist with a multidisciplinary practice. CURRENTLY IN MARSEILLE THIS YEAR WHERE I WON’T BE ABLE TO HOST. I established my artist studio in Marrakech where I develop my practice ranging from photography and sculpture to embroidery and installation. My current work revolves around the habitat and what orbits within it. I am particularly interested in the stories and narratives that a place, it’s architecture, it’s materials, it’s archives can reveal. I fell in love with solo traveling in 2017 when i had my first trip, as I continued to do it every year. Each and every place i go to, i pick a pieces as an artefact of my passage there, it reminds me the great times, and the great people. I have now a beautiful collection of small bottles of my trips. I have unfortunately stopped because of the covid19 situation and borders, but i hope all this will be soon over so I can start again! This time for longer periods and further places and many memories.
