17 November – 15 December 2017 – French Institute of Essaouira
The Maison de la Photographie in Marrakech participated again this year in the readings of the Trasatlantica portfolios. The winner is Dounia Fikri.
In partnership with the French Institute of Essaouira du 17 November to 15 December 2017 and the Cervantes Institute in Casablanca.
In the village of Aglou, in the south of Morocco, a tradition wants that the young men of the village dress in sacrificial fresh skins of the sheep of "Aid El Adha" and this during three days of festivities. Their costumes thus give them complete freedom in a predominantly conservative community., where individual freedoms are very limited. For this series, Dounia Fikri took the liberty of altering the film used by different natural processes, for the purpose of visually documenting an experience related to the loss and restoration of vision.
On this occasion Les Editions Limitées is publishing the number 1 from the Cahier Jeune Photographie au Maroc series.
Catalogue: Bo’jloud, photographs by Dounia Fikri, Notebooks Young Photography in Morocco, Limited Editions, 2017.
