Views from “Story Tellers”a collective exhibition at @museenationaldelaphotographie
For the first time, I am showcasing my ongoing project Shifting Tangier, which I began in 2023 during my final thesis research at architecture school. The project explores informal practices of architecture and my sensitivity to how the city is constantly changing, surrendering to neoliberal policies, and living under a permanent state of transformation.
Special thanks to @soufianeer for the invitation, @hrsak_lada for the infinite walks and discussions, @marouanebeslem for the constructive feedback, my @thinktanger family for supporting me throughout this research, and @la.meloni for helping me arrange this wall and helping me detach from work I’ve spent so much timewithout wanting to show it all.
If you’re in Rabat, don’t hesitate to visit many inspiring works are on view.
Incredibly grateful.

I’m very happy and honoured to announce that my first solo exhibition is taking place in Marrakech at Leila Alaoui Gallery of @ifmarrakech , showcasing there my ongoing project « Territoires » a project that is very dear to my heart in which I explore amysterious moroccan landscape and the relation that arises between Humans and the context where they live.
I would love to thank you all for your daily support and thank @facealamer.tanger @dimitribeckpro and @kenzakazouz for their precious help.

L’université de Cordoba vient finalement d’inaugurer l’exposition de la collection contemporARTE 2020 à la galerie Universitaire Braulio Salazar. Très content de voir deux photos de ma série «En el mar» faire partie de cette belle collection. N’hésitez pas d’y jeter un coup d’œil si vous êtes dans le coin! Jusqu’au 10 janvier 2022

Ravi d’avoir contribué au nouveau numéro de Makan revue annuelle de @thinktanger sous le thème Synthetic Agencies. J’y participe avec mon projet Shifting Tangier et un article que j’ai commencé à developper à partir de 2023 suite à mon projet de mémoire en école d’architecture. Numéro dispo au KIOSK
Extrait “Enfant, mes voyages estivaux à travers Tanger avaient des allures de rêve éveillé, de traversées dans un royaume dystopique en perpétuelle gesticulation. La ville se dévoilait sous un nouveau jour à chaque visite : des grues fendillaient le ciel, des immeubles jaillissaient comme des monolithes surgis du néant, et le paysage urbain, pris dans une fièvre de transformation, se remodelait sans cesse au rythme effréné d’une urbanisation impatiente.
À mes yeux d’enfant, Tanger devenait un plateau de jeu grandeur nature en reconfiguration continue. Chaque nouveau chantier semblait orchestré par une mécanique silencieuse. Les périphéries, aussi pétulantes que méticuleusement agencées, s’emboîtaient comme des blocs numériques, tandis que les grues, véritables architectes suspendus et omniprésents, redessinaient sans relâche les contours et l’avenir de la ville.“

Empty streets. Silent billboards. Half-built dreams in the ghost towns of Tangier. After two months of residency research, The Sounds of Silence - Ghost Towns of Tangier is finally here 🌬
Tanja, my heart is full. I love you, your people & your magic. 🔮✨
It began when @aminehou.ari took me to the “Nouvelle Villes” of Ibn Battuta (2006) & Cherafate (2009). Built with high hopes, they were abandoned over time leaving half-finished housing, empty streets, and silence behind billboards that once promised luxury and comfort.
This story lives in Morocco’s complex colonial and postcolonial history. During the French Protectorate (1912–1956), “European” districts were built alongside old medinas, creating a lasting spatial split. Urban policies then, what Janet Abu-Lughod called “urban apartheid” physically separated communities by race, class & purpose. My project draws on this past while questioning the forces shaping cities today.
Over a month, Amine and I gathered sounds, videos & impressions to build an open-source archive. From that came a 3-day workshop with @farah.sayem, @timaelkhammas, @sbaaoussama, @omar__s & @aminehou.ari blurring documentary & fiction. We made dystopian collages from ghost town images, cyanotypes with @kaiouch @kimia.collective, and sonic collages from field recordings and archival material. We riso-printed the works at @cinemathequedetanger with @thisisnawar_ and bound them with @trafik__design to create The Sounds of Silence zine, an invitation to slow down, listen, and see these spaces not as failures but as traces of memory, politics & possibility.

Over a month, Amine and I gathered sounds, videos & impressions to build an open-source archive. From that came a 3-day workshop with @farah.sayem, @timaelkhammas, @sbaaoussama, @omar__s & @aminehou.ari blurring documentary & fiction. We made dystopian collages from ghost town images, cyanotypes with @kaiouch @kimia.collective, and sonic collages from field recordings and archival material. We riso-printed the works at @cinemathequedetanger with @thisisnawar_ and bound them with @trafik__design to create The Sounds of Silence zine, an invitation to slow down, listen, and see these spaces not as failures but as traces of memory, politics & possibility.

Grateful to everyone who inspired me, especially @aminehou.ari @kamal.pdf @itsfek @gardaf @ammynna ✨
