The Lazraq family's extensive collection of modern and contemporary African art will be displayed at the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (Macaal) in Marrakech. This collection, largely undisplayed for over forty years, will feature 150 rotating pieces from the 2,500 artworks in their possession, emphasizing inclusivity across the continent. The exhibition, titled 'Seven Contours, One Collection,' aims to challenge stereotypes about African art, showcasing an array of mediums from various prominent artists across Africa, reflecting the rich diversity and vibrant culture inherent in the continent's artistic expression.
"From next month, the collection will have a new permanent presence at the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (Macaal) in Marrakech, showcasing 150 works on rotation."
"Meriem Berrada, the museum's artistic director, hopes the new exhibition, Seven Contours, One Collection, will help challenge reductive stereotypes with its breadth and inclusivity."
