Programme
The first route of the museum ship will be the Mediterranean, an area of millennia of history and exchange, which has always mobilized and nourished the inspiration of artists, and naturally invites intercultural dialogue.
Discover the programme of activities on the quayside and in the towns: performances, concerts, conferences, screenings, workshops, meetings and other events.
Upcoming events
Past events
Sffara, Ayman El Gadi (Invited by Mouhawalat Collective)
With this performance, Ayman El Gadi invites us to share, to eat apricots together, and reminds us of the act of playing. The performance invites the audience to become involved in the creation of a whistled harmony, a unison. The audience will take away the core; a fragment of the performance.
ricochets (this time it's personal) - Exhibition tour - QANAT collective
Discover the exhibition exploring new and ancient mythologies of water with guest artists Youmein and QANAT. Rooted in water histories and ecological infrastructures, the work gives voice to tired djinns, mysterious aquatic creatures and exhausted tourist operators. It deciphers the politics of creating and redefining image-spaces and the right to belong to them. Like Atlas condemned to carry the weight of the world, the installation questions who defines and supports the histories and imaginaries of our contemporaries.

Qanat's residents and curator Francesca Masoero take over the Agora to present their latest research in a performative format that blends mythology, storytelling and contemporary art.

Tro-Tro Gallery by The Minority Globe
Walk-performance, mobile exhibition and conversation. Departure from the Darna association to the Art Explora Village. A restitution of works produced in workshop during the week with association Darna. Organic Knowledge is an art and research project that aims to create a collaborative archive of the cultural practices of under-represented communities in Morocco through artistic residencies and workshops. Organic Knowledge asks questions about the ethics and methodology of working with populations that are victims of systemic violence, and how their marginalized cultural practices can redefine dominant narratives about migration by providing a more accurate picture of these populations. For this edition of Art Explora, The Minority Globe proposes a mobile exhibition and performances between the city and the agora, conceived during a new creative workshop in Tangier.
Vincent Moon - Live Cinéma - A cinematic ritual (Alain Weber's concerts)
Exclusive presentation of the latest musical epic across Morocco by Vincent Moon, a pioneer of musical film.
