Contemporary art exhibitions in Morocco

Overview

A series of art exhibitions in Morocco are highlighting diverse themes of identity, memory, and cultural heritage.

In late September 2026, the Cité de la musique hosted ‘My Rock Stars’, an exhibition by Hassan Hajjaj featuring portraits that blend traditional Moroccan clothing with urban fashion. Concurrently, La Galerie 38 in Casablanca announced a retrospective of painter Mohamed Mourabiti, showcasing nearly forty years of work inspired by the landscapes and materials of Marrakech and Tahannaout.

By mid-October 2026, new exhibitions expanded these themes. Photographer Abdallah Bouhamidi presented ‘Hidden/Hiding’ at Espace Rivages, using monochrome photography to examine urban spaces and the tension between visibility and concealment. Additionally, artist Amina Benbouchta presented ‘Like Any Others’ at OH Gallery, utilizing painting, sculpture, and textile installations to investigate the historical and cultural links between Senegal and Morocco.
