Najia Mehadji

Morocco, b.1950

Najia Mehadji studied plastic art and aesthetics at Sorbonne University in Paris and did research on contemporary theatre (Grotfskie and Live Theatre) that presented her with several opportunities for discussion of traditional drawing methods, architecture and contemporary music. She taught the relationship between movement, sound and effect at the Pantin Institute for Contemporary Music. Mehadji interprets in her work the connections between the origins of geometric forms to build up her constructed compositions of regular shapes in irregular configurations.
