Mounir Fatmi is another well-known contemporary artist from Morocco, whose work often deals with issues of globalization, technology, and the impact of colonialism on the African continent. His installations and sculptures are often made from found objects and everyday materials, which he transforms into powerful statements about the world we live in.
Lalla Essaydi is a Moroccan artist who uses photography to explore issues of gender, identity, and representation. Her work often features women in traditional Moroccan dress, set against intricate backgrounds that are covered in Arabic calligraphy.

Notable original artworks made by Contemporary Moroccan artists
Contemporary Moroccan artists have created a plethora of original artworks that showcase the rich culture and heritage of the country.
One such artwork is "The Veil," created by Hassan Hajjaj in 2000. This mixed-media piece features a woman wearing a brightly patterned headscarf, seated on a motorcycle adorned with soda cans. The image is a commentary on the intersection of tradition and modernity in Moroccan society.
Another notable artwork is "The Harem," created by Lalla Essaydi in 2009. This photograph features a group of women in a luxurious setting, draped in fabrics and surrounded by calligraphy. The piece challenges Western stereotypes of the harem and explores the complex relationships between gender, power, and identity.
In 2016, Yto Barrada created "Faux Guide," a series of collages depicting the architecture of Tangier. The collages feature cutouts from travel guides and maps, juxtaposed with images of buildings and landscapes. The result is a playful and thought-provoking commentary on the ways in which we construct and consume narratives about place.
Finally, "The Divine Comedy," created by Mounir Fatmi in 2014, is a multimedia installation that explores the themes of exile and displacement. The piece features a video projection of a burning book, accompanied by a soundscape of voices speaking in different languages. The work is a meditation on the fragility of culture and the power of language to connect us to our roots.
These artworks and many others like them showcase the vibrancy and diversity of Moroccan art, and the ways in which contemporary artists are engaging with the complex social and political issues of our time.
