The Villa des Arts of Casablanca welcomes Moroccan textile artist Soumiya Jalal for an exceptional exhibition built around two chapters.
“La Mémoire des Gestes” (The Memory of Gestures), presented at the Mandarin Oriental in Marrakech by Galerie 208 during the 1/54 Fair.
A major retrospective spanning more than twenty-five years of creation, alongside recent works.
Set in this emblematic landmark of Casablanca’s Art Deco heritage, the exhibition marks the artist’s return to a space that has meant a great deal in her artistic journey.
Twenty-two years later, Soumiya Jalal returns to the Villa des Arts with a body of work profoundly enriched by her research into textiles, memory, architecture, heritage and the practice of craftsmanship in artistic creation.
