The exhibitions will remain on view until the end of September, and we extend an invitation for you to pass by if you happen to be in town. With love ❤️

A visual exploration of the Marrakech ancient wall, tracing its transition from a historical barrier designed to ward off potential enemies to a space now inhabited by laboring communities. The focus lies on overcoming a metaphorical wall, symbolizing a combination of psychological, social, and economic barriers.

Le Mai de la Photo annonce ! - Rida Tabit (@ridaseyes ) “Gold Rust” Du 25.04 au 15.09.2026 À la Maison Denise Masson (@maisondenisemasson.ifm ) - “À la périphérie de Marrakech se trouve la tannerie traditionnelle de la ville, une archive vivante dont les origines remontent à l’empire almoravide. Ici, les artisans perpétuent l’art ancestral du tannage végétal, une technique écologique datant du XIe siècle qui permet de transformer les peaux d’animaux en cuir et en laine.45 Gold Rust est un voyage visuel pour renouer avec ma ville natale et collaborer avec les tanneurs traditionnels de Marrakech, en capturant l’environnement de la tannerie en voie de disparition tout en explorant les vides et les silences laissés par son déclin. En photographiant les tanneurs, j’examine comment les archives futures pourraient préserver non seulement les images mais aussi l’expérience de vie de la tannerie en tant qu’écosystème social.” #maidelaphoto #photographyfestival #marrakech

When most people think of Morocco’s leather tanneries, they think of Fez. But Marrakech has its own, a hidden and fading tannery. Artist Rida Tabit captures the stories and lives of the people working there. Did you know Marrakech has a leather tannery?

Exhibition Announcement We’re excited to present Along The Wall, a solo exhibition by Moroccan photographer Rida Tabit opening to the public on July 6th. In his ongoing series Tabit explores the Medina wall of Marrakech. Through intimate photographs, he captures the cities daily life along this historic structure. Presented at Galerie Poche, a space inspired by the architectural concept of the “poche”, Tabit’s work finds a perfect home. “Tabit’s photographs are not only documentation, but an invitation. They ask us to slow down, to see and listen to the spaces we too often ignore, and to consider what walls might tell us if we truly paid attention.” – Curator Emma Waslander ✨ Special Event: Join us for a Q&A with Rida Tabit Wednesday July 9th | Soho House Amsterdam Along The Wall – Rida Tabit at Galerie Poche Open to the public: July 6th, 2025 (14:30 – 17:00) Galerie Poche, Leen Jongewaardkade 109, Amsterdam Free Entry @ridaseyes @galeriepoche @jamarchitecten @emmawaslander @minaabouzahra Partners @sohohouse @littlegreene.nl @erco_nlbe @yotel @deckamsterdam More info: jamarchitecten.nl/Galerie-Poche #RidaTabit #AlongTheWall #GaleriePoche #AmsterdamArt #MarrakechMedina #PhotoExhibition #MoroccanPhotography #JAMarchitecten #EmmaWaslander #MinaAbouzahra #ArtAnnouncement

A visual journey through Marrakech’s traditional tannery, representing its rich heritage and the profound degradation it is facing.

Expérimentant, Rida Tabit se distingue transcendant les frontières traditionnelles de la capture d’images. Portant son regard sur l’héritage culturel, l’identité, les communautés laborieuses, c’est la teinture et ses savoirs artisanaux qu’il met à l’honneur. Au-delà de l’esthétique visuelle, c’est une démarche sociologique, dans une quête de compréhension de ce qui façonne nos identités mémorielles. Rida Tabit comprend la société par la focale de son appareil, s’exprimant par ses expériences. Procédés de teinture, de l’acide au sulfate de fer, un kaleidoscope de bruns révèle les secrets séculaires. // Experimenting, Rida Tabit transcends the traditional boundaries of image capture. Focusing on cultural heritage, identity and hard-working communities, he gives pride of place to dyeing and its traditional skills. Beyond visual aesthetics, this is a sociological approach, in a quest to understand what shapes our memorial identities. Rida Tabit understands society through the lens of his camera, expressing himself through his experiences. Dyeing processes, from acid to iron sulfate, a kaleidoscope of browns reveals age-old secrets. #arts #artcontemporain #artwork #foundation #jardinrouge #montresso

How can I represent the deep connection between Marrakech’s traditional tanners and their craft while highlighting its degradation and the silence surrounding it? Starting from this question, I created handmade paper using the main substance from the tanning process. Cyanotype portraits of the tanners were then made and partially erased using acid, a recently introduced chemical that replaced the natural methods once used. These partially erased portraits were stitched onto the handmade paper using wool, serving as both an aesthetic backdrop and a metaphor for the deep connection between the tanners and their craft. This body of work was produced during my recent residency at @montressoartfoundation and is currently on display at @artorium_espacedart during the trio exhibition « مادة, Alchimies photographiques » Special thanks to @mourad_boulhana for the photos, @ismailelaaddioui for the graphics, and @hdmi_king for the sound.

⭐️Announcement⭐️ We are delighted to share the news of our upcoming trio show, “مادة, Alchimies Photographiques,” opening this Thursday, November 21st, at @artorium_espacedart Curated by Estelle Guilié, the three winners of @prixmustaqbal (Mehdi Ait El Mallali, Yassine Sellame, and Rida Tabit) explores and challenges the photographic medium in its classic form, presenting unique perspectives that create new spaces for artistic expression. If you are in Casablanca at that time, we warmly invite you to join us ❤️

Rida Tabit, photographe originaire de Marrakech, explore à travers sa photographie les interactions subtiles entre les individus et leur environnement. En transcendant la simple capture d’images, son travail aborde des thèmes profonds tels que l’héritage culturel, l’identité personnelle et les réalités socio-économiques des communautés laborieuses. Lauréat de la 3ᵉ édition du Prix Mustaqbal dans la catégorie Mobile, Rida a eu l’opportunité d’approfondir son travail en résidence à la Fondation Montresso* à Marrakech. Dans ce cadre unique, il a ouvert son atelier, dévoilant le processus créatif derrière sa série « Gold Rust ». Cette œuvre explore en profondeur l’univers de la tannerie de Marrakech, où Rida dépasse la simple représentation photographique pour proposer une expérience à la fois sensorielle et immersive. Le 21 novembre, ne manquez pas l’occasion de retrouver Rida à l’espace d’art Artorium pour l’exposition « مادة, Alchimies photographiques », aux côtés des photographes Mehdi Ait El Mallali et Yassine Sellame. @ridaseyes @montressoartfoundation @artorium_espacedart
