Nabil Himich (b. Jan. 1997, Meknes) is based in Marrakech, Morocco. He works at the intersection of architecture and literature to investigate political themes traversing the material narratives of the everyday. By juxtaposing painting, installation, writing, drawing, sculpture, and participatory forms, this mul3-layered work, being haunted by the aporias of postcolonial multilingualism and class hierarchy, broaches themes such as the singular and the multiple, unequal structures, spatial anthropophagi, the poe3cs of enclosure, the practice of staying. He often adopts notions such as ‘con-texture’ and ‘archi-texture’ to provide deconstructive schemes for thoughts and actions. These notions are also conceptual tools for narratives around the production and formation of place, the distribution of territory and knowledge, class issues and representation.
Nabil was part of the 3oubour x Lab X International Residency in 2025.
