Following its presentation in Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, The Casablanca Art School: Platforms and Patterns for a Postcolonial Avant-Garde (1962–1987) is on view at Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt. The Casablanca Art School, founded by artists and teachers after Moroccan independence in 1956, declared a new art for Morocco grown from Afro-Amazigh heritage and formed a ‘new wave’ inspiring social movements and eventually contributing to artistic solidarities between Latin America, West Asia and Africa.
The presentation in Frankfurt is organised by Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation. Curated by Morad Montazami and Madeleine de Colnet for Zamân Books & Curating with Esther Schlicht and Luise Leyer, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt.
