Mousganistan' is the first book of the acclaimed Moroccan-born, Belgium-raised artist Mous Lamrabat, encompassing a body of work that has been more than five years in the making.00Mousganistan is a celebration of love and freedom, and in-between territory in which opposites collide and create beauty and abundance, new connections and dialogues in a visually thought-provoking and at times confronting way.00Encompassing his iconic fashion imagery and personal work, Mousganistan is a journey into the artist?s diasporic life, a joyous and yet intensely sharp portrait of the contact space between cultures, symbols, religions, capitalism and survival.00By challenging our expectations of what cultures are, and how they should be portrayed, his images create a space for love, compassion and understanding - allowing us to imagine a possible, different world.
