’Morocco, Land of Light’
Morocco has enchanted countless hearts with its luminous charm and stunning landscapes. The phrase "Morocco: Land of the Far Sunset" resonates as a beacon of freedom, capturing the profound spiritual bond the kingdom shares with its remarkable geography and vast horizons.

In 1832, the renowned painter Eugène Delacroix expressed his admiration for this land, saying, "In Morocco, there is color everywhere." Since that time, the nation has inspired generations of poets, artists, and photographers eager to capture its enchanting beauty. From the richness of its lush gardens to the mystery of its ancient medinas, and from the grandeur of its towering mountains to the tranquil sounds of its boundless seas, all thrive under the warm embrace of the sun and the twinkling stars of the night sky.

This exhibition aspires to serve as a spiritual conduit to the essence of Morocco, inviting viewers to delve into its extraordinary allure. It showcases an exceptional collection of photographs from the "Dar al-Suwar" in Marrakech, each image a visual gem narrating the timeless beauty of this enchanting land.

Through the partnership of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Ireland and the AF network in Ireland, this visual collection will brighten the cultural landscape of Cork and other cities in Ireland.

’Morocco, Land of Light’ will be exhibited at Alliance Française de Cork from 23rd May to 27th June 2025.
