Khadija Jayi: Memory of Flames
Galleria Anna Marra in Rome, in collaboration with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco, will be presenting MEMORY OF FLAMES, curated by Silvia Cirelli, the first solo show in Italy of the artist KHADIJA JAYI, one of the most interesting artists of the emerging contemporary art scene in Morocco.
MEMORY OF FLAMES offers works from this talented artist鈥檚 recent projects, presented here in an Italian exclusive. She is already known internationally, having shown her works in Paris, London, Dubai, Copenhagen and Mexico City. In 2021 Khadija Jayi exhibited at the MMVI, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rabat, and in the same year she won second place at the Mustaqbal Prize awarded by the TGCC Fondation of Casablanca.
She has always been an attentive explorer of socio/political and identity themes, which concern both our current cultural history but also her own private sphere. Khadija Jayi translates the precariousness of human nature into art, achieving the so-called 鈥渆ssential鈥�. Her aesthetic is as subtle as it is versatile, blending beauty with suffering, evasion with obligation, but also complicity and then trickery. Jayi unmasks the tensions of human behaviour, capturing the observer with an expressive magnetism of sophisticated rarity.
