KARIMA - MARRAKESH 2021

Karima is a henna artist. She is based in Djemaa El Fna square in Marrakesh and often works for special events like weddings. Depending on the design, henna can start at a few hundred DH ($20+). Karima works in the square for 10-12 hours per day.***This NFT is 4/7 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.
