• A wonderful example of Moroccan-born photographer Hassan Hajjaj's pop art sourced from the souks and alleyways of modern day Morocco, 'Saida' represents this idiosyncratic artist's continuing fascination with notions of identity and representation. Appropriating and re-contextualising traditional 'Orientalist' views of women, Hajjaj playfully subverts the tropes and clichés of the Islamic world. More on this painting
