L’Atelier de l’Observatoire is a non-profit association founded in 2012 in Casablanca, Morocco. L’Atelier de l’Observatoire designs, produces and disseminates projects conceived as tools to support Moroccan contemporary creation nationally, and internationally. It seeks to create the necessary conditions for projects unsuited to the current systems of artistic, academic and cultural production in the region to flourish, and to present these projects to a Moroccan and international audience, bringing together artists, researchers and the general public. To this end, the Atelier de l’Observatoire experiments with alternative approaches through educational programs, production space and guidance for emerging artists, research programs and participative art projects in the public space, in rural locations and city outskirts.
