Chabka International Festival uses urban cultures as a language of encounter between young people in Salé, Moroccan artists and guests from other African and Arab scenes.
Rap, dance and street arts
The programme gives an important place to hip-hop, rap competitions, choreographic performances and visual practices. These formats provide visibility for creative work often developed outside institutional cultural circuits.
A platform for emerging talent
Open calls, battles, workshops and meetings allow young artists to present their projects to audiences and professionals. The festival therefore plays a role in discovery and learning.
A dialogue with popular cultures
Chabka is not limited to contemporary urban aesthetics. African music, Moroccan traditions and popular forms may join the programme, creating exchanges between inherited practices and new generations.
Several cultural spaces across Salé
Activities may occupy theatres, cultural centres and public spaces. Dates, venues, artists and access conditions should be confirmed for each edition through the organisers and partners.
