Hamza Khafif (Arabic: حمزة خفيف), also known by the pseudonym TaSh36, is a Moroccan actor, poet, musician, and graphic artist from Casablanca, Morocco.[1]

Name

TaSh36 is the pseudonym Khafif uses for his work as a graphic artist.[1] "TaSh" refers to Tashelhit, the language of the Shilha Amazigh people.[1]

Career

Music

In the past, he performed as a percussionist with Kabareh Cheikhats, a musical troop that performs traditional Moroccan and Arabic folk songs in drag.[2][3][4]

Film

He performed the role of Omar, one of the main characters, in Meryem Benm'Barek-Aloïsi's 2018 film Sofia, an award winning film at the Cannes Film Festival.[5][6][7]

Graphic art

On October 26, 2019, Khafif's work was exhibited alongside a screening of Manel Mahdouani's work on Amazigh tattooing in an exhibition called Imazighan (إمازيغن) at Bachibouzouk.[1] TaSh36's work explored motifs from Amazigh art and culture and their relationship with Moroccan history, in an attempt to renew them.[1]
