Biography of M'barek Bouhchichi
M’barek Bouhchichi was born in 1975 in Akka, Morocco, he lives and works in Tahanaout, Morocco. M’barek Bouhchichi gives shape to modes of expression that move from the individual discourse towards broader social, poetic and historic systems. There is an individual voice that enables a re-writing of the self, that runs throughout his work. It is a thought process unfolding in acts that the artist signifies with the exchange between the idea and the experience of the work. His artworks propose a dual reading that depends on the artist’s personal understanding, and a reading that is guided by thoughts that are open to being shared and interpreted.
Bouhchichi graduated from the Centre Pédagogique Régional, Rabat, Morocco.
