Moroccan artist Lalla Essaydi presents her exhibition "The Visible Unveiled" at the Musée des Confluences in Marrakech. This exhibition highlights her series Harem, in which Essaydi questions cultural representations of the female body in the Arab world through captivating photographs. Using henna and Arabic calligraphy, she creates works where women are not passive subjects but active agents.
The geometric patterns and architectural decorations of Islamic culture play an essential role in her compositions, where women dressed in elaborate caftans blend into the majestic decor of historical palaces. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the National Museums Foundation, inviting reflection on themes of gender, identity, and cultural history in the Arab world.
