N° 59 — Spring 2022

Diptyk #59

Listening to the Silences of the Desert

Moroccan artists no longer dream only of crossing the sea. They set off to experience the desert and its oases. Diptyk #59 follows these new crossings, from the silences of the desert photographed by Seif Kousmate, on the cover, to Abdelkader Benali’s “The Other Story” at the Cobra Museum. This spring 2022 issue also addresses the restitution of works to Benin and the Venice Biennale. Reports, analyses, interviews and portfolios shed light on the art scene in Morocco, Africa and around the world.
