Hassan Hajjaj’s ebullient portraits marry Western pop culture with his Moroccan heritage. Our first collaboration, Yazid & Rania, is a bespoke framed photograph which belongs to Hajjaj’s My Rockstars series, in which he tributes an eclectic assembly of subjects from around the world who are all, to him, rockstars.

Yazid Bezaz (right) co-founded Somnii, a collective of rappers, producers, sound engineers and photographers centred on creative freedom and nonconformity. Rania Malek (left) is a singer, model and visual artist who collaborates with numerous creatives in Marrakech, most often in music and fashion. Both embody an attitude shared by Hajjaj of nomadic, cross-cultural collectivism.

Behind the scenes

Hassan Hajjaj closeup portrait photo with two of his artworks blurred behind him

Hassan Hajjaj1 collaborationHassan Hajjaj’s portraits marry Western pop culture with his Moroccan heritage. The brightly coloured, intensely patterned works pair motifs from fashion brands like Louis Vuitton and Nike with traditional North African textiles. His trademark style, inspired by Malian photographers such as Malick Sidibé and Seydou Keïta, is translated across installation, video, performance and furniture design. At the age of twelve in 1973, Hajjaj moved from Morocco to London and quickly became inspired by the city’s subcultures - particularly the reggae scene. In the 80s, he began his career as a photographer and launched his own fashion brand. Hajjaj calls the friends and contemporaries who he photographs “rock stars.”
