On 24 May, Comptoir des Mines Galerie will be paying tribute to a leading figure on the Moroccan art scene, Latifa Toujani, by presenting the various research projects she carried out between 1970 and the early 2000s.

The project will focus on the different paths and mediums she explored over 3 decades. The exhibition is a fitting tribute to the artist, but also an invitation to re-read the history of art in our country with a certain backwardness and a feminine prism.

Latifa Toujani's photographic work, which began in the late 1970s, is absolutely striking, and demonstrates the courage she showed in getting so close to certain brotherhoods and spiritual practices in Morocco, such as her work on textiles and engravings between 1974 and 1990.

She was the only Moroccan woman to take part in the Baghdad Biennial in 1974, and her emblematic works are now among the most important collections in the Arab world and in Morocco. Latifa, pionnière aussi! (Latifa, a pioneer too!) is a journey along the paths of Arab artistic modernity, where poets and the political and social influences that crossed the 70s and 80s from Rabat to Baghdad and from Beirut to Damascus meet.
