Biography

Protean, Latifa Echakhch's work is structured around references that are both personal and political, literary and artistic, biographical and historical. Through her interdisciplinary installations, Latifa Echakhch is recognized for the fine balance between forcefulness and fragility of her visual language, inserting surrealist and conceptual elements, and her use of symbols that–in her own words–are both “political and poetic”.
