MOURAD - MARRAKESH 2021
Hassan Hajjaj
Created in 2021
Mourad is part of a street acrobatic group performing outside of restaurants, cafes, and the popular Jemaa el-Fna square. He’s also an artist and designs complex structures to perform his acrobatic feats.***This NFT is 1/7 of MARRAKESH 2021 — a photography NFT collection supporting its co-creators. In 2021, Morocco was in lockdown to reduce the spread of COVID-19, tourism was suspended around the world, and many people lost their jobs and livelihoods. Photographer Hassan Hajjaj shot his first-ever NFT collection to support his friends struggling throughout the pandemic. Most of the co-creators work in the popular tourist destination Jamaa El Fna square (meaning “internal gathering place”), which has been a community center for over 500 years. It’s the place where locals and tourists alike go to buy goods and see friends. It’s a magical place with sounds, smells, and an evolving atmosphere to match the hour. Come meet the people of Marrakesh.
