Meriem Bennani

[10] Bennani was one of the four artists featured in the 2019 Whitney Biennial who formally requested that their work be removed via a collective letter which was also published on Artforum.

[11] She was the winner of the 2019 Eye Art & Film Prize [12] In 2020 Bennani collaborated with Israeli artist Orian Barki on a series entitled 2 Lizards.

[18] Bennani's 2017 exhibition Siham and Hafida was a multi-channel video installation at The Kitchen in which Benanni explores the generational conflict between two Moroccan chikha[20] singers, combining the artist's own footage with digital manipulations and animations.

[21][22] Bennani's 2016 video installation FLY at MoMA PS1 featured a layered choreography of projections which evoked the kaleidoscopic eye of the titular animal.

The fly moves us through fragmented scenes of markets, a wedding, and interviews with relatives, stopping occasionally to sing a distorted version of Rihanna's “Kiss It Better.”[23][24] Fardaous Funjab is an itinerant fake reality TV show centered around a fictitious hijab designer who creates campy and absurdist designs such as a hijab made of a tennis ball basket or a multi-tiered wedding cake.
