Gallery: Boston University Stone Gallery

‘Looking Out, Looking In: Contemporary Artists from Morocco features seven celebrated Moroccan photographers and Videographers drawn from one of the largest collections of modern and contemporary Moroccan art.

Despite their diverse backgrounds, each recognizes that the process of looking is a political act and seeks to emphasize the ambiguity of meaning contained within the visual. Through varied approaches, the artists contemplate the moral and emotional experiences of looking in at oneself in response to looking out at the complex social issues that impact Morocco today.

The entire event is curated by Cynthia Becker (Boston University) and Nadia Sabri (University of Mohammed V, Rabat, Morocco) will lead a guided tour of the exhibition and discuss the cultural and political contexts of the selected artworks. The talk will coincide with the launch of the exhibition’s catalog followed by a closing reception.
