BIO
Chedine is a writer, researcher and mixed media artist based in Casablanca.
Born in 1995 in Rabat, she left Morocco in 2012 to study political science and philosophy in Montreal. After a year in London in 2018, her career in peace and conflict research led her to Addis Ababa, where she worked from 2019 to 2023.
In Ethiopia, Chedine started a writing and visual practice anchored in her attempts to navigate anxiety, and hopelessness in the face of war. Born and raised by the Atlantic shore, Chedine is fascinated by underwater worlds, and especially jellyfish, which are at once elusive, ominous and sensual. Over time, these creatures have become a recurring motif, looming in her paintings and writings in unsettling ways.
In 2022, Chedine was among the winners of the 37th Prix du Jeune Écrivain. In 2023, she moved back to Morocco to develop her art and writing projects, working as a humanitarian researcher in parallel. In 2026, she published Hoobi (éditions Le Sélénite), her first short story collection.
