The exhibition is dedicated to the "African period" of Mohammed Kacimi (1942-2003), the apogee of his work, which sees him breaking with Western art and the different aesthetic trends that influenced him during his career, to open a new, much more personal way, characterized by an expression without constraint, free, and more and more transdisciplinary.
Through a selection of exemplary works and significant archival documents (325 works composed of paintings, sculptures but also of archives: manuscripts, texts, drawings, photographs, videos), this exhibition reveals the determining role played by this visual artist , a true smuggler who has allowed new generations of artists from the Arab world to take the step towards a new contemporaneity, nourished by its own cultural roots: "an African transition".
Mohammed Kacimi is one of the most important Moroccan visual artists of the post-war period. An innovative and committed artist, instigator and main witness of the globalization of contemporary Arab art, he has largely influenced the evolution of the artistic scene of his country, and served as a model for many young Maghreb artists today internationally recognized.
