The Marrakech Photography Encounters turn the city into a space for circulating images through exhibitions, screenings, discussions and educational activities.
Multiple photographic practices
The programme brings documentary photography, visual research, intimate narratives, archives and experimental approaches into dialogue. It welcomes artists from Morocco, Africa, Europe and diasporic communities.
The city as an exhibition space
Galleries, heritage venues, public spaces and large-scale projections create a route that moves beyond the conventional gallery exhibition. Marrakech becomes both a display surface and a context for interpreting the works.
Emerging talent and transmission
Awards, portfolio reviews, workshops and professional meetings support young photographers. Activities for schools and local residents contribute to the development of visual literacy.
Photographing contemporary change
Identity, territory, migration, memory and social transformation run through the projects. Artists, venues and schedules are announced progressively for each edition.
