AWL Gallery is pleased to present At the Image’s Edge, the first solo exhibition of Cuenca-based Moroccan artist Youssef Taki. Conceived around migration as a condition of uncertainty and continual negotiation, the exhibition examines how memory and identity are rewritten through loss, displacement, and fragmentation. Working across photography, installation, and archival materials, Taki approaches the body and memory as living archives—fragile, partial, and shaped by absence—where images become sites of both erasure and resistance.
“In this exhibition, Youssef Taki traces a path toward the restitution of the dignity of migrant families’ memories. Without claiming to offer an exhaustive account of an ungraspable migratory reality, and with the intention of filling the void of first-person migratory stories, the Hispano-Moroccan artist collects, gathers, and reinterprets fragments of memory through family albums, donated vernacular archives, and files rescued from oblivion.”
