Melehi, a Solar Nostalgia

At over 80, Mohamed Melehi remains the archetype of the avant-garde artist, celebrated both in Rabat and in London. His Solar Nostalgia is on the cover of Diptyk #48. This April–May 2019 issue also visits the National Museum of Qatar, Jean Nouvel’s “desert rose” in Doha, and looks back at what Moroccan cinema of the 1970s could have been. It also pays tribute to Hassan El Glaoui. Reports, analyses and portfolios complete the issue.
