Rabat – A photographic exhibition by the Moroccan-Belgian artist Jamal Hammami will be organized from April 10 to May 09, under the theme "Morocco, Land of Light" at the Espace Rivages of the Hassan II Foundation for Moroccans Residing Abroad.
"My goal is to highlight the splendor and visual beauty of Morocco, this unique country that stands out for its light, its colors, its architecture, and its cultural richness," affirmed the artist, cited by a statement from the Foundation, adding that "Our country is a treasure."
Born in Casablanca in 1961, Jamal Hammami, who resides in Brussels, holds a degree in photography from the Higher School of Image Arts, photography section in 1988, and from the School of Photography and Visual Techniques of the city of Brussels. He also followed training in graphic design at the Saint-Luc Higher Institute and in cinema and video at the Molenbeek Academy.
With work and practice in line with street photography, reportage, and documentary, the artist aims to reveal the depth of black and white photography through a subtle play of contrasts, lights, and shadows, giving his work a poetic and narrative power, even an intriguing theatricality, the same source emphasizes.
Inaugurated in 2016, Espace Rivages is an art gallery and cultural space intended to present the creations of Moroccan artists and writers residing abroad and to maintain their ties with their countries of origin, through the organization of several cultural events with the aim of revealing the creations of the MRE.
