Asmae Laraqui is a multidisciplinary Canadian visual artist, born in Morocco and currently based in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Ceramics, with Distinction, from Concordia University in Montréal. Her practice focuses on sculpture and the hybridization of porcelain, stoneware, metal, glass, and fibers—rooted in a rich transcultural heritage. Through intuitive techniques, Asmae explores organic forms inspired by the deep sea, coral reefs, roots, and invisible ecosystems. Her work transcends genre boundaries to create poetic micro-architectures that express memory, the fragility of living beings, migratory identity, and a powerful inner force—an invitation to contemplation and intimate dialogue with nature. Her sculptures were featured in the Fall/Winter 2025 issue of Fusion Clay and Glass, a Canadian arts magazine, and have been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Canada, France, and Portugal—affirming her growing visibility within the contemporary art landscape. She has received several research and travel grants from the Conseil des arts de Montréal (2020), the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ, 2023 and 2026), Employment and Social Development Canada / Universities Canada (2024), and the Canada Council for the Arts (2026). Asmae’s artistic journey has led her to prestigious residencies, including Loulé Criativo and Officina de Barro in Portugal (2020), Keramik at the Guldagergaard International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark (2024), and the TOPO & Art’Up ceramic sculpture residency at Domaine Le Rocabella in Le Pradet, France (2026). Beyond exhibitions, she shares her passion for ceramics through art mediation workshops and community engagement in her Mile-End studio, where she cultivates a dynamic space for creation, communication, collective involvement, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
