For several decades, the Assilah International Cultural Moussem has connected artistic creation, intellectual debate, poetry and urban transformation in a small Atlantic town that has become an international cultural landmark.
A medina shaped by art
Murals, children’s workshops, exhibitions and visual interventions have transformed the image of Assilah. The moussem places creation in the streets, on the walls and inside the city’s heritage spaces.
Ideas in circulation
Forums, tributes, literary encounters and poetry programmes bring together artists, writers, researchers and public figures from Morocco, the Arab world, Africa and beyond.
Culture and urban continuity
The event has established a long-term relationship between cultural programming and the public realm. Its visual legacy and intellectual meetings remain part of Assilah’s identity and international visibility.
The 2026 edition
The autumn session of the 47th moussem is announced for 2–18 October 2026. Programme details should be confirmed before travelling.
