Smoss

Hammam Ladies Smoss

A hamman has operated continuously since 1546 near the Mosque Mouassine in the Marrakech medina. Women only. In the winter of 2015-2016 the artist Paula Sweet visited the hammam and memorialized what she saw in a series of watercolor drawings. This volume contains images of 75 of those works, created from memory, a glimpse into a secret, traditional and intimate world unknown to men. This book was designed in horizontal format with binding at the top edge.
