Rabat – Hiba Foundation and Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) organized the private exhibition of the artistic residency Bayt Al Fenn at Morocco’s National Library in Rabat, on October 13.
Bayt Al Fenn’s residency is dedicated to artistic creation in all its disciplines, and is “a thematic laboratory of inventiveness and a true place of experimentation and creation,’’ its organizers say.
The theme of this year’s edition is “Chkoun Ana (Who Am I) – An expression of Moroccan creative identity between heritage and modernity.’’
The artistic residency aims to give artists the opportunity to express their individual identities and unique perspectives on Moroccan identity through their art.
“Each artist has the freedom to share with the public a story and a DNA,” the organizers said in a press release. “The result of the convergence of these works will answer the question Chkoun Ana.”
Bayt Al Fenn welcomes all kinds of art and has designated spaces for visual arts and performing arts.
Bayt Al Fenn calls itself an “incubator for cultural and artistic projects” created by the FNF Morocco and launched in partnership with the Hiba Foundation. The incubator is a multidisciplinary and thematic residency open to young artists living in Morocco who are interested in a “unique creative experience”.

The incubator will support cultural and artistic projects through financial support of particular production needs. The completed projects are also recommended and displayed at venues such as festivals and galleries so that they can reach a wider audience.
