Rida Tabit, a cura di Roï Saade
all'interno del Middle East Now 2021
Middle East Now, in collaborazione con MAD, presenta in anteprima il lavoro del giovane fotografo marocchino Tabit Rida, 25 anni, uno dei talenti emergenti della fotografia dal Middle East. Fotografo autodidatta, Rida è sceso in strada per documentare la sua città natale, Marrakech, in questo momento storico senza precedenti. Mentre l’industria del turismo, principale fonte di reddito per la città, è stata pesantemente colpita dalla pandemia, Rida ha colto l’occasione per fotografare i numerosi cambiamenti e osservare la realtà spesso trascurata di Marrakech, al di là del turismo e della folla. Questo progetto, tra immagini fisse e video registrati col suo smartphone, rivela incontri di vita quotidiana in tempi di quiete, ricorda che il tempo non si è davvero fermato, e che la resistenza umana è un fenomeno naturale.
Progetto e mostra a cura del fotografo e artista libanese Roï Saade. Coordinamento set design di Archivio Personale.
