Featuring works by prominent Moroccan artists, the group show 'The Casablanca Art School & Beyond - A New Moroccan Generation' traces the emergence of Moroccan artistic modernity. Appearing in the 1960s, the Casablanca movement paved the way for several generations of multidisciplinary and innovative artists, thus shaping the contemporary artistic landscape of Morocco.
Showcasing a diverse range of techniques and styles, by established artists notably Mahi Binebine, Mohamed Anzaoui, and emerging talents such as Reda Boudina & Kamil Bouzoubaa-Grivel, the show strives to reflect the evolution, the richness and vitality of the contemporary art scene in Morocco.
