MOHAMED VI MUSEUM OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART
From September 24th to December 18th, 2019
General curator: Abdelkader Damani, art historian and philosopher
From a Moroccan perspective, the Biennial aims to claim a new reading of aesthetics in order to co-write a history of art without borders through stories, experiences and imaginations that converge to lay the foundations of an inclusive, heterogeneous and universal art.
The Rabat Biennial is conceived as an archipelago: the central part is the International exhibition, dedicated to the exclusive invitation of women artists. The other sections, in the form of "carte blanche" and associated programs, rigorously respect the principle of parity.
"The artist Amina Agueznay exhibits the work in two acts, Incarnate the visible, Act the invisible. In the first act, Amina Agueznay creates her own writing by freezing moments of creation in a woven wool structure. The jewellery artefacts inscribed in the material thus become the motifs of a cartography of her inner world. In the second act, via a narrative written as a short story by Ghitha Triki, the artist juxtaposes the fictional power of words with the monumental plasticity of the weave."
