Moroccan Trilogy 1950-2020
Art and culture in Morocco’s urban centres
Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid
31 March - 27 September 2021
Curators: Manuel Borja-Villel, Abdellah Karroum
The third period from 2000-2020, focuses on the work of artists and activists, marking the rise of populist political parties, the Casablanca terrorist attacks in 2003 and the Arab Spring, defining an era of radical change, mass uprising and technological development. The generation of artists, who emerged during this period broke away from their predecessors. The Generation 00 artists look at social realities with immediate and live updates about the world, work with new media practices, and operate in a post-internet world. They created new spaces in Tangiers, Rabat, Casablanca and inspired a new generation of Moroccan artists and authors now working on a global scale.
