The Marrakech Express Collection
Apotropaic Imagery in Moroccan Crafts
This is part of a collection of photographs taken at a Moroccan crafts store called
Marrakech Express, formerly on South Street, Philadelphia. The owner was generous in letting me photograph
just about everything in the store. Unfortunately, the hard-drive containing the originals to these
photographs crashed while only a small percentage had been taken off it and edited to be posted here.
It is hoped that the files will be able to be extracted at a later date, but this is the collection as it
stands now. The pages are as they were created for a past website section called Apotropos. I plan to
re-edit them at a later date, hopefully with the rest of the collection.
