🎞️ Movie 72 min --
2015

Following up on his stereotype-shattering photography series 'Kesh Angels' which depicts the girl biker gangs of Marakesh, the Artist Hassan Hajjaj spent time documenting 'A Day In The Life Of Karima: A Henna Girl'. The Marrakesh-set documentary follows Hajjaj's favorite 'Kesh Angel' character: Karima who is a mother, wife, artist, henna artist, local icon and graduate of what he calls 'Jamaa Fena: the university of street life'. Known for breezing through Marrakesh on her bike with her vibrant veils and textile abayas and djabellas fluttering in her wake, Karima is also a normal woman who works eight or ten hours a day. Though his film Hajjaj paints a more complex vision of contemporary Islamic gender roles.
