Loft Art Gallery is proud to present From Abstraction to Feminism, a captivating solo exhibition showcasing the pioneering work of Malika Agueznay, one of Morocco’s most influential modernist artists. Running until January 15, 2026, this exhibition offers a rare and immersive journey through Agueznay’s multifaceted practice, which spans painting, engraving, sculpture, and suspended installations.
Emerging in the late 1960s from the iconic Casablanca Art School, Agueznay stands as the first woman modernist in Morocco, carving a unique path alongside contemporaries such as Farid Belkahia, Mohamed Melehi, and Mohamed Chabâa. Her art is deeply rooted in the formal experimentation of the School, yet it is profoundly personal—exploring themes of memory, femininity, and the organic rhythms of nature.
Visitors to From Abstraction to Feminism are invited to move through an evocative spatial narrative. The exhibition begins with Agueznay’s paintings, which reveal her mastery of abstraction, then transitions into a striking constellation of suspended sculptures. These vivid, dynamic forms evoke celestial bodies like suns, moons, and eclipses, with colour liberated from strict structure to move freely, creating an almost living visual language.
The exhibition culminates in intimate spaces that encourage quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to connect with the sensorial depth and emotional resonance of Agueznay’s work. The scenography—carefully curated by Kristi Jones and Kenza Amrouk—plays with light, colour, and form to create an experience that is as much about atmosphere and feeling as it is about visual art.
Agueznay’s work draws from both modernist principles and Moroccan popular traditions, merging them into a language that is timeless and deeply relevant. From Abstraction to Feminism not only highlights her artistic innovations but also situates her as a vital voice in the broader history of contemporary art in the Maghreb region.
This exhibition reaffirms Malika Agueznay’s singular place in the art world, celebrating her contributions to the dialogue between abstraction, identity, and feminism. Art lovers and cultural enthusiasts in Casablanca and beyond are invited to experience this memorable showcase of a trailblazing artist whose legacy continues to inspire.
