LE JARDIN DES ARTS

Inaugurated in November 2016 during COP22, the Jardin des Arts brings together, in the heart of Guéliz, the sculptures of 22 Moroccan artists; all concerned by environmental issues. This new haven of greenery, located along the Avenue Mohamed V, was designed by the Moroccan artist Mahi Binebine and BDA agency including the three art collectors passionate Messrs Gael Barrazza, Abdelmalek Kadiri and Hassan Lahrizi . Together, they take the pretext of COP 22 to bring together 22 promising artists such as Hassan Hajjaj, Abdelrim Ouazzani or Yasmina Alaoui and make them work on this theme of the environment and ecology. The BDA agency explains the approach: “In the course of a discussion about the COP22, we wondered about the means that we could implement to support the commitment of Morocco in its fight against global warming, while bringing an artistic dimension. At the initiative of Mahi Binebine, we undertook the project of rehabilitating an abandoned garden to adorn it with monumental sculptures. “

Result? 22 militant and environmentally friendly works now adorn the famous boulevard Mohamed V. “These sculptures will remain there forever, it is a legacy for future generations”.

Inaugurated for COP 22, this colorful new park is located in the Bab Nkab garden, on Avenue Mohamed V. Feel free to visit during your stay in Marrakech … Especially at night! The lights are magic!
