Mous Lamrabat’s solo show, Homesick, at Loft Art Gallery in Marrakech, is a striking meditation on identity, nostalgia, and cultural fusion. Through twenty powerful new works, the Moroccan-Belgian photographer reimagines heritage with contemporary aesthetics, bridging past and present in an emotional exploration of belonging.
In his latest solo exhibition, Mous Lamrabat delves deep into the emotional weight of displacement, memory, and identity. Presented through March 15, the exhibition kicked off with the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair, further amplifying the reach of Lamrabat’s distinctive vision. Known for his ability to blend traditional Moroccan elements with modern pop culture references, Lamrabat’s work exists in the space between worlds — both intimate and universal, nostalgic yet futuristic. His photographs serve as visual dialogues between his Moroccan roots and his life in the diaspora, reinterpreting cultural symbols through a bold, contemporary lens.
At the heart of Homesick lies a powerful sense of longing. The recurring motif of the Moroccan star acts as a symbol of both connection and distance, threading through each image as an emblem of national pride and personal yearning. The exhibition does more than just document a physical place — it captures the emotional landscapes of memory and migration. As Loft Art Gallery continues its mission to bridge Moroccan and African art with the global stage, Homesick stands as a testament to the power of visual storytelling. Lamrabat’s work invites viewers to reflect on their own notions of home, belonging, and the ways in which cultural identity evolves across borders.
With its striking compositions and thought-provoking juxtapositions, Homesick is not just an exhibition — it’s an immersive emotional experience, one that cements Mous Lamrabat as a leading voice in contemporary photography.
The exhibition Homesick by Mous Lamrabat is on view until the 15th of March at Loft Art Gallery, 60 Boulevard El Mansour Eddahbi, Guéliz, Marrakech.
