Soukaïna Aziz El Idrissi was trained in textile design, specialising in weave and later in craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. For the past 8 years, she has extended her research to plastic waste, which she investigates as a social phenomenon. She explores all the possibilities this material, commonly seen as purely wasteful, has to offer with the ultimate goal of questioning its utility and the ways it is perceived socially. Recent solo shows include Cabinet of Curiosities, VOICE gallery, Marrakech (2019); Chemistry’s Greatest Achievement, Thinkart, Casablanca (2015); Calibrated Compositions, Trinity Buoy Wharf, Docklands, London (2012).
