Mémoire future

Art critic, editor and curator Morad Montazami engages with Toni Maraini, Italian writer and art historian, known for taking an active part in the post-colonial modernist movement in Morocco from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. Toni Maraini's collaboration with artist Mohamed Melehi, with whom she shared life and work, brought a theoretical contribution to the history of Moroccan modern art. The creative duo left an indelible mark on the cultural landscape, significantly influencing the art scene in the Mediterranean and the Arab world. Mémoire Future sheds light on the fundamental role the duo had in shaping the Casablanca Art School as part of a vibrant artistic community. Their groundbreaking endeavors to decolonize art education fostered creative innovation by incorporating Bauhaus philosophy, honoring Moroccan traditional craft culture, and addressing activism by bringing art into public spaces for radical collective learning. The film is directed by Toni Maraini and Melehi's daughter Mujah, who grew up bearing witness to the unique collaborative spirit of the 70s and 80s Moroccan cultural avant-garde.
