“This exhibition offers a fresh look at Morocco,” said its coordinator, Yassine Alaoui Ismaili, in a statement to MAP.

Organized simultaneously at the headquarters of the World Bank and the IMF, the exhibition reflects a Morocco in motion through breathtaking images releasing an unprecedented instinct of movement. “It’s actually a new way of revisiting and promoting Morocco, through photography, with an emphasis on urban Morocco,” noted the artist photographer who believes that the works on display invite visitors to a visual journey to the new Morocco, its people and its unique landscapes.
Bringing together experienced and budding photographers and videographers, the exhibition also highlights the development of the visual arts in the Kingdom, added Mr. Ismaili. A rich program to promote the Kingdom has been set up in the headquarters of the two international institutions in the heart of Washington, on the occasion of this world conclave marked by the return to face-to-face format after the pandemic.
