“Here's how Mona Lisa fell in love with Moroccan tea,” Zineb Bouchra captioned a picture of herself on Instagram. There’s the silver Hamsa tied around her head, colourful traditional jewellery and, of course, a glass of Moroccan tea. “The intention is to use Moroccan culture and show it to the world, and to speak to the Moroccan public in an artistic way,” she says. Bouchra shows off the traditional face tattoos again in her recreation of a self-portrait by Frida Kahlo. "Everything I discover about my culture, I try to show by reviving the paintings in a creative and educational way.”
