Exposition : Mechanics Of Belief
@izzamarrakech
Curated by @wish.and.kesh @natasha_cox_ok
8 nov 2025

For Mechanics of Belief, Faical Adali presents new works that continue his exploration of Morocco’s visual landscape. The series includes Live The Idea (2025), a new sculptural work, a group of paintings, and the video Modern Symbols (رموز حديثة). Together they look at how images and symbols travel between the street and the self, between collective imagination and personal belief. Adali’s starting point is the trucks that move through Casablanca, each one marked by signs, slogans and motifs that turn a working vehicle into a statement of identity. These moving surfaces combine humour, reflection and pride. In his work, Adali captures this energy and translates it into a visual language of his own. His paintings and sculptures use layers of colour, print and line to reflect the mix of labour and spontaneity that defines these trucks.The Arabic phrase Ta’ish al-fikra (تعيش الفكرة), meaning “Long live the idea,” both appears within and is used as a title - a mantra of creativity and endurance. It expresses a belief that being an artist can be inseparable from the fabric of everyday life, if we allow it. Adali’s practice sits within a contemporary Moroccan Pop sensibility that includes artists international, where global imagery and local experience meet. His works in Mechanics of Belief are both a study and a celebration of how people use images to build identity, belief and belonging.

Meet the talented artists behind Mechanics of Belief - our latest exhibition launching today and open until the 8th December.

The exhibition has been curated by Aicha Benazzouz and Natasha Cox and brings together newly commissioned works from Yassine Chraibi & Faical Adali. Though visually distinct, they both explore how systems of power, belief and identity are constructed, embodied and reimagined.

FAICAL ADALI
Faical Adali is a Casablanca–based visual artist whose work celebrates and interrogates Moroccan cultural + visual identity. Through painting, photography, drawing and digital design, his work reflects on how universal and distinctly local symbols shape collective imagination and self-expression.

Rooted locally but in dialogue globally, his practice is deeply informed by Casablanca’s street culture and urban history; capturing the spirit of Moroccan urban life—its humour, rhythm, and contradictions—while exploring how global symbols of consumption and aspiration are absorbed into personal and shared identity. His background continues to inform a practice that moves fluidly between fine art and popular culture, between the studio and the street.

We are thrilled to be working with and supporting Faical.

The IZZA Associate Artists Programme presents Mechanics of Belief, an exhibition bringing together newly commissioned works by Moroccan artists Faical Adali and Yassine Chraibi.

🗓 8th November - 8th December
📍 IZZA, Marrakech

Curated by Aicha Benazzouz and Natasha Cox.

Within Mechanics of Belief, Adali and Chraibi confront the systems that shape how we see and act, one through participation and the other through expression. Though visually distinct, both artists explore how systems of power, belief and identity are constructed, embodied and reimagine.

Their works expose belief not as an abstract idea but as a living mechanism, built and sustained through repetition, desire and collective imagination. At IZZA, where public and private blur, these works turn the viewer into both witness and participant. Presence itself becomes material. Belief, like art, is revealed for what it truly is: something negotiated, unstable and alive.

The Associate Artists Program supports 17 Morocco-based artists in providing time, space, and resources to develop new projects, print editions, and exhibition works. The program fosters collaboration, experimentation, and visibility while strengthening IZZA’s role as a platform for artistic exchange — a place where creativity, community, and the city of Marrakech continually illuminate one another.
