A moment before the world,
International Biennale of Rabat, Morocco.
Curated by Abdelkader Damani.
An Instant before the World’ The theme of the inaugural Rabat Biennale is ‘An Instant before the World’ and will explore artistic practices and art history from the perspective of the Global South taking the city of Rabat – which was appointed “City of light” and cultural capital of Morocco – as its starting point. This inaugural biennale will create a dialogue across artistic disciplines from the visual arts and architecture to dance and performance and seeks to tease out some of the complexities related to the urgent need for creativity by examining the reasons, revolts, and decisive moments that drive artists to take action and contribute to the making of history.
Carried by committed women and men, the Biennale is conceived as a possible inventory of the world of tomorrow and shaped as an archipelago, including the international exhibition and a tryptic of ‘cartes blanches’. In addition, a program of performances and a cultural program will take place throughout the Biennale.
For the first edition of the Biennale, the National Foundation of Museums will organize a focus on Urban Art.
The international exhibition, dedicated entirely to women artists, is set across significant cultural sites in Rabat. It brings together 63 artists and artist collectives, from 27 different nationalities and disciplines.
