Laila Hida is an artist based in Morocco. In 2013, she founded LE 18, a multidisciplinary art space for artists, curators, researchers, cultural agents, and local communities. Extending artistic work in an entrepreneurial form, LE 18 has been thought as a space for learning, experimentation and sharing on issues such as the role of the arts in the evolution of socio-cultural ecosystems or the effects of global tourism on shaping local landscapes and their perceptions.

Laila lives and works in Marrakech. In her conceptual approach, she explores the boundaries of photographic practice, non-negotiated spaces of social practices, and the idea of transformation as a constant of time. Her current project, ‘Everything is temporary’ (2019) relies on her personal archives (textual and photographic) to sketch an archeology of intimacy by observing the psychological variations (resilience, self-analysis) on the maturation of a work of art across time and space.
