The Casablanca Art School
Tate St Ives, Cornwall

27 May 2023 – 14 January 2024

If on a festive escape to Cornwall, let Tate St Ives transport you to warmer climes via its exhibition The Casablanca Art School. The show explores the artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s.

Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed Chabâa, Mohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering institution spawned a new generation of socially engaged modern artists. Works by 22 of them showcase the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to graphics and interior design.
