Debate: What Is Art Criticism For?

After fifteen years and 65 issues, Diptyk takes up the debate it is so often challenged with: is there art criticism in Morocco, and what is it for? Diptyk #66 also questions the legacy of the Casablanca School, delves into the black work of Elladj Lincy Deloumeaux, on the cover, and follows Sara Ouhaddou and Ibrahim El-Salahi. This winter 2023 issue brings together reports, analyses, interviews and portfolios on the art scene in Morocco, Africa and around the world.
