Rabat – The National Museum of Photography of Rabat presented “Let’s Play – Re-enchanting the World” collective exhibition on Tuesday, organized as part of the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of the South (BIENALSUR).

Bringing together 11 artists from Morocco, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, and the Netherlands, the exhibition combines photography and video to explore the power of imagination, dreams, and playfulness as ways to rethink how we see and experience the world.

The exhibition marked the second collaboration between BIENALSUR and the museum, following an initial partnership in 2023, and joins an international circuit that has already traveled through Buenos Aires, Riyadh, and Madrid.

Soufiane Er-Rahoui, curator of Rabat’s National Museum of Photography, spoke to MWN Lifestyle about the vision behind the “Let’s Play – Re-enchanting the World” exhibition.

He described it as a direct response to a pressing need: to bring magic to a world too often shaped by narratives of crisis and disenchantment.

According to him, the project offers an alternative, inviting audiences to engage with imagination and fiction as tools to rethink and reinvent today’s reality.

In a time marked by recurring crises and a growing sense of fragility, everyday life can begin to feel stripped of meaning, making us lose sight of the poetic details hidden in it.

Through the works on display, the exhibition seeks to bring those moments back into focus, revealing the quiet beauty woven into daily life.

Here, art is not just something to look at, but something to feel and move through. It creates a space where imagination becomes a way of understanding, and where fiction is not an escape, but a tool to question, reinterpret, and reconnect.

In this sense, “re-enchanting” the world is not just an aesthetic gesture, but a subtle form of resistance. 

By placing imagination and poetic expression at the forefront, the artists push back against narratives of meaninglessness and apathy, offering instead images that restore depth and sensitivity to how we perceive reality.

While reality may at times appear dark, “Let’s Play – Re-enchanting the World” ultimately proposes a shift in perspective, encouraging viewers to rediscover beauty and hope in the world around them.
