RABAT PHOTOGRAPHY MUSEUM HOSTS BIENNIAL OF CONTEMPORARY SOUTH ART

The National Museum of Photography in Rabat hosts the exhibition “Between Times and Spaces”, an integral part of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of the South (Bienalsur).

Organized by the Três de Fevereiro University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the collective photography exhibition, opened a week ago, includes videos by African and Latin American artists.

According to the Moroccan online newspaper, “Le Matin.ma”, the exhibition features works by Moroccans, Brazilians, Argentines, Chileans, Mexicans, Peruvians and Colombians, who share a common aspiration, to express in a poetic way the diversity of contemporary Moroccan reality. .

Through shared perspectives, the exhibition path illustrates a visual and conceptual dialogue between different cultures, which takes the public on a journey through spaces that confront immensity, loneliness, emptiness, as well as the marks left by communities and the reciprocal influence of these elements .

Time, facts, memory, history, identity, past and present imaginaries are themes widely addressed in the works present at “Bienalsur”.

According to the National Museum Foundation, the objective of the exhibition is to make the National Photography Museum a place conducive to exchange and reflection, where visitors are invited to question themselves and explore new ideas.

“The curatorial history proposed through this diversity of perspectives tends to traverse spaces that confront us with immensity, loneliness, emptiness and the marks that communities leave and vice versa”, explained Diana Wechsler, artistic director of the exhibition.

The exhibition has a traveling nature, arriving in Rabat after having covered 9,325 kilometers since its launch in Argentina, last July.
