Born 1955. Casablanca, Morocco

Lives and works in Akouda, Tunisia

Amina Saoudi Aït Khay experiments and develops a personal weaving technique through graphic expression and the control of the improvisation. She innovates the traditional practice of Moroccan wool weaving by hand-weaving large works of improvised graphic design, recovered from her previous practice of painting on silk with gutta and a cruet. Saoudi Aït Khay creates visual memories of landscapes in Morocco and Tunisia with handmade natural dyes, developing abstract shapes using the loom as her paintbrush.

Saoudi Aït Khay’s work has been shown in several international institutions and biennials, such as the Diriyah Biennale (2026); Venice Biennale (2026).

Saoudi Aït Khay’s can be found in many prestigious collections such as the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; Fondation H, Antananarivo, Madagascar; Barjeel Foundation, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates; Modern and Contemporary Museum of Tunisia, Tunis, Tunisia and The Kamel Lazaar Foundation, Tunis, Tunisia.
