Loft Art Gallery (Casablanca and Marrakech, Morocco) presents Homesick, a solo exhibition of 20 new works by Moroccan-Belgian photographer Mous Lamrabat (b. 1983), at the gallery’s Marrakech space. Taking place from 30 January – 15 March 2025, the exhibition coincides with the 1-54 Marrakech art fair.
Mous Lamrabat celebrates a singular style that boldly combines tradition and modernity, creating the distinctive portraiture style he is known for. His work navigates two worlds: that of his Moroccan roots and that of his life in the diaspora. Through powerful photographs loaded with symbolism, he reinvents cultural codes by mixing them with elements of pop culture and a resolutely contemporary aesthetic.
Lamrabat’s cross-cultural works reflect Loft Art Gallery’s aim to create a major art bridge between Morocco and the rest of the world, maintaining a focus on Africa. The artist’s solo exhibition at Loft Art Gallery, entitled Homesick, is an exploration into the heart of his own homesickness, a feeling that inevitably connects him to his native Morocco. The works presented in this series are invitations to reflect on the notions of identity, belonging and the complexity of origin. The photographs on display can be read as visual testimonies of memories and sensations, capturing the essence of his experience of Morocco.
