What’s on
From 21st September 2019 to 5th January 2020, the MACAAL is staging an exhibition entitled New Waves – Mohamed Melehi and the archives of the Casa School, curated by Morad Montazami and Madeleine de Colnet for Zamân Books & Curating. Presented for the first time in The Mosaic Rooms, this chronological exhibition traces the artistic career of Mohamed Melehi between 1957 and the 1980s through the artist’s major works, posters, photographs and previously unseen archives. From his Roman period to the artistic revolution coming out of the Casablanca school, of which he was one of the leading lights, alongside Farid Belkahia and Mohamed Chabâa, New Waves showcases his prolific and fruitful career and the key role he played in the development of art instruction and experimental practices in Morocco, as well as his important work as a designer and muralist.
