Riad Yima Boutique & Art Gallery

Marrakech Has a Thriving Contemporary Design Scene—Here’s Where to Find It | Vogue

"Behind the walls of the rose-hued riad, I discovered Hassan Hajjaj’s boutique and art gallery, Riad Yima, tucked away in a quiet alley in the heart of Marrakech’s 12th-century medina. The space is a realm of pop-art colors and contemporary photography: a myriad of traditional clothing printed with designer logos and Arabic script, shelves filled with colorful tea tins, and countless objects all designed by Hajjaj that beautifully capture his distinct visual style—the same style that helped propel him to international stardom and earn him the title of the Andy Warhol of Marrakech. I experienced the place as part of an immersive trip he helped curate, even taking part in a photo shoot there where everyone in our group was clad in Hajjaj-designed clothing in front of his camera." - Dobrina Zhekova

"Artist Hassan Hajjaj's Studio and Tearooms The gallery, boutique, and tearooms of Morocco’s most famous living artist, Hassan Hajjaj, is an essential stop forany art lovers staying in the city. Tucked away down a narrow alley behind the Rahba Lakdima (otherwise known as the Place des Épices), it's like stumbling into a jewel box filled with pop-art treasures. Hajjaj made a name for himself with a series of photographs titled Kech Angels, which depicted local girls on mopeds dressed in eye-popping robes. The collection has been exhibited all over the world in such illustrious venuesas theVictoria and Albert Museumin London and the Institut des Cultures d’Islam in Paris, but nowhere beats enjoying thework on home turf. While you’re there, treat yourself to his iconic recycled home and fashion pieces, such asa sardine-can lantern, a pair of babouches (Moroccan slippers) cut from a flour sack, or a stool from an oil drum. And if you hang around for a pot of mint tea in the courtyard, you might even meet the man himself."
