N° 56 — Summer 2021

Diptyk #56

Contemporary Scene in Need of Oxygen

After a year of commemorations, where has Morocco’s contemporary scene gone? Diptyk #56 went looking for it in the medinas, public gardens and places where it took refuge, and devotes a feature to the new curators. This summer 2021 issue also celebrates the great names of the Casablanca School, from Farid Belkahia at the Centre Pompidou to Mohamed Chabâa in Abu Dhabi. Reports, analyses, interviews and portfolios complete it, between Morocco, Africa and the world.
