Loft Art Gallery Marrakech

This guide to Loft Art Gallery in Marrakesh traces two sisters, Myriem and Yasmine Berrada Sounni, who left finance careers to open a Casablanca gallery in 2009 with a debut show by painter Chaïbia Talal. Among the six hundred people who came was the modernist Mohamed Melehi, and the meeting that followed set the gallery on a path few in Moroccan art dealing expected two young women to walk. Berrada later said the skepticism they met only sharpened their appetite to prove themselves. Look around this three-story Gueliz building from the nineteen-thirties, opened as the sisters' answer to growing international demand.
