Unveiled on December, 28: Mohammed Kacimi, the culmination of his work.

Rare and exceptional artworks will be presented as a reflection of the solo exhibition ‘Kacimi-1993-2003. Une transition africaine’ by the Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranéen (MUCEM), curated by Nadine Descendre, in 2018.

This period marked a break with both Western art and the currents that had influenced his art. For the artist, this was a very different chapter from his previous periods, much more personal, characterised by a liberated, disruptive and transdisciplinary expression. By highlighting this important moment, the exhibition invites visitors to re-examine how Mohammed Kacimi’s work has contributed to the development of a new Mediterranean imaginary.

In this exhibition on the artist’s most productive period, Mohammed Kacimi, initially influenced by the Ecole de Paris, turned to Africa in search of truth and authenticity, in line with his growing awareness of his ‘African-ness’. Mohammed Kacimi became convinced that his art should be based on an intercultural dialogue between the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa, refusing to distinguish between a ‘white Africa’ and a ‘black Africa’ separated by the Sahara.
