Lives and works in Rabat
Nassim Azarzar, artist and graphic designer, develops his research by following the trail of popular images and exploring their forms and representations, particularly those of trucks transporting goods between port cities and Moroccan villages in the Atlas and Rif regions.
Before joining QANAT (a collective of artists and researchers exploring water in its political and poetic dimensions) in 2019, Nassim co-founded: Atelier Superplus, a design studio operating between Paris, Bristol and Tangier; Think Tangier, a platform dedicated to exploring the city of Tangier and its extensions on an urban and visual level; and Atelier Kissaria focused on experimental printing practices.
His artistic practice oscillates between the research and exploration of formal languages, blending them with natural motifs, printing techniques and popular culture. Nassim Azarzar is interested in the development of these new aesthetics and their inherent connections to their contexts and spaces, in order to question our relationship with modernity.
