Laila Hida (Casablanca. Lives in Marrakech) is an artist and cultural practitioner whose work focuses on image and photography, exploring their use as archival material and as triggers for fiction. Her recent project, Le Voyage du Phoenix, examines photography, literature, and cinema as tools to distill the 20th century’s regime of desire. She founded LE 18, a multidisciplinary cultural space and artist residency in the medina of Marrakech. The project reflects her commitment to exploring how environments shape artistic production, mediation, and research. Hida has curated numerous programs internationally, including the LE 18 collective project at documenta 15 and the Moroccan stopovers of the Art Explora Festival (Marseille). She is also the founder of Dabaphoto, an annual program dedicated to photography and image-making in Morocco.
