Madiha Sebbani is a multidisciplinary artist Currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom who graduated from the National Institute for Fine Arts, Tétouan, in Morocco.. Endorsed by the British Art Council, in 2020 as a 'Global Talent' to continue her research and practice in the United Kingdom. Madiha’s practice often consists of minimalist performances, inspired by daily Rituals and intimate gestures. These performative acts question our relationship to what is out of the ordinary and our ability to deviate from experimentation. Sebbani enjoys experimenting with different mediums to approach her creative sensibilities, such as combining different plastic forms and techniques, either embodied in installations, paintings, photographs, video, happenings or performances. Much of Madiha’s research is influenced by power dynamics inherent from her upbringing at a military base

The Mask Project:
Madiha has started a project in Morocco -Fez city in the old town where she worked on the behavioral controversies of the people in the old town which is the oldest and the most confusing medina in Morocco; It is a very religious city where the oldest university in the world (Al Qaraouyine) resides. The university itself represents a magnificent religious background in addition to the social danger and the defense against enemy, which also entails that whoever wears it becomes like a voyeur who has a wearable and mobile window and political facts. Within this context I decided to work on a mask with a cooper artisan and a special dress for they express how the most powerful part of a human being – The human mind - was conditioned by traditions to fit in this space.

The idea of creating a copper mask reiterates this value of this material alike the preciousness of the face, the untouchable faces; neat and protected, but also unidentifiable. Oval shape of an exaggerated size around the face hanged on a crown (which fits the head) so that it could be easy to wear like a big jewelry that has criteria: the shape of the beehive and the fencer mask, symbolizing the protection from any danger.
