This wall drawing, made with henna, shows in negative the phrase “Love is not a crime” written in Arabic. This phrase is used as a slogan by Moroccan women and the LGBTQIA+ community to claim their rights and access new freedoms. The dimensions of the work (4m89) refer to article 489 of the Moroccan penal code criminalizing homosexuality and which was incorporated into the law during the French protectorate. The use of henna leads us to think about the body, with this characteristic smell which accompanies places of intimacy, freedom or even resistance, and which, here, permeates the exhibition room.
