Eldorado: Latifa Echakhch

The GAMeC – Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo presents the first solo show in an Italian institution of the artist Latifa Echakhch (1974, El Khnansa, Morocco. Lives and works in Martigny, Switzerland).

The exhibition ‘Le rappel des oiseaux’ is part of GAMeC’s exhibition program Eldorado dedicated to the most interesting emerging artists on the international scene who are invited to create an original project for the museum’s spaces.
The exhibition at GAMeC is realized in collaboration with the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne of Reims, where it was presented last April; however, the overall project – as always happens in Echakhch’s work – has been redesigned in close relationship with the exhibition space at GAMeC.

Through an extreme variety of expressive means ranging from installation to video, and painting to photography, Latifa Echakhch explores the dimensions of the individual and collective identity, the concept of culture and feelings of belonging and uprooting.
