Our deepest thanks to Australian artist Bryan Dawe for his generous donation of “Beit Hahayim,” the Jewish Cemetery of Tangier, which now hangs in our art gallery, where it stands as a stirring memorial to Tangier’s multi-faith heritage.

We were thrilled to co-host the second edition of the Youmein Creative Media Festival this past weekend, from July 16-17.

Artists were challenged to create pieces reflecting on “crisis” within the 48-hour timespan of the Festival.
On Saturday members of Youmein, TALIM, and the public convened for a roundtable discussion featuring Driss Ksikes, a Moroccan journalist and playwright, and Hicham Bouzid, co-director of Arty Farty’s Think Tanger project.
