In recent years, more and more Moroccan photographers are working and expressing themselves, more and more exhibition places are welcoming them and drawing public. There is not yet a Moroccan School of Photography, but cultural actors and creators have the will and the desire to lay its foundation.

These dynamics make an exhibition like this possible. It is a historical moment to witness the creation of a place dedicated to photography in Morocco and the light that a national museum sheds on an energetic and diverse scene.
