Mounir Eddib (°1995, he/him) is a Moroccan-Belgian painter and mixed media artist born in Waterschei (Genk, Belgium), a diverse working class neighborhood known for its nearby decommissioned coal mines. As the grandson of a miner and the son of his Amazigh (Berber) mother from the Western Saharan borderlands, his autobiographical yet universally recognizable art is inspired by issues of migration and belonging, the rawness of post-industrial landscapes, and the transformative potential of Sahrawi indigenous cosmology, ritual and magic.

In both his personal artistic practice and through collaborative work at The Building Genk, Mounir strives to reclaim the histories and empower the lives of marginalized communities and the landscapes they are connected with.
