Women's museum in Marrakech, on 3 levels, presenting the works of 3 different artists every 6 months
"Women don't need men - they can do anything! Nizar Gartit is a staunch supporter of the female cause. In fact, he has decided to dedicate a museum to this half of humanity, historically relegated to the sidelines. More specifically, he has turned the spotlight on Moroccan women, and rural women in particular. On three levels, we discover the extent to which the "second sex" has, since time immemorial, managed tasks essential to the smooth running of daily life. In villages, women were responsible for food security. They were exclusively responsible for market gardening and raising livestock, in addition to their offspring. Carpet weaving was also reserved for them: in these pictures of threads, which accompany individuals at every stage of life, we find great symbolism linked to procreation and fertility. Every six months, the museum presents the works of three different artists, to demonstrate the leading role they also play in the arts and culture. An exhibition has been devoted to the pioneering women of Morocco, and photographic retrospectives are held regularly to encourage new generations of artists. While the collection undoubtedly needs to be fleshed out a little, it's a good omen that such a space has come into being in Marrakech. The initiative is ambitious and resolute. We support it wholeheartedly!
