For the first time in the Netherlands, some 40 Moroccan artists have been brought together in an exhibtition titled 'The other story', curated by Abdelkader Benali, to provide an overview of the development of Moroccan modern art from the country’s independence in 1956 to the present day.
The independence in 1956 also marked the birth of Moroccan modern art. A renewed self-awareness among Moroccan artists arose. By now, a new young and exciting generation of artists has taken its place on the international stage. Around 80 works on themes such as decolonisation, spirituality, gender and migration are brought together in the museum galleries, featuring works by pioneers Mohamed Melehi and Mounir Fatmi.
