Fez — Inaugurated on October 30, the exhibition positions four distinct visual languages in dialogue while foregrounding a shared continental identity.
Curatorial notes and coverage emphasize the show’s intent to map memory, everyday life, and imagined worlds across North and Sub-Saharan perspectives.
The run from October 30, 2025 to February 28, 2026 was confirmed by organizers and local media.
Hosted at the Galerie Banque Populaire within the Banque Populaire Rabat-Kénitra network, the program underscores the bank group’s long-running support for cultural initiatives. Adil Rzal, who chairs the bank’s regional board, framed the four artists as embodying the “plurality and strength” of contemporary African creation, with works that “inscribe memory and creativity in the present while opening widely to the world.”
The selection invites audiences into contrasting sensibilities. Baddou’s canvases channel music-infused intuition to probe the tensions of modern life; Berhiss, a self-taught Essaouira native, guides viewers through interior, dreamlike terrains. Camara Gueye paints Dakar’s daily rhythms with luminous sincerity, while Ilanga’s portraits summon the textures of memory and the African imaginary. Together, they sketch a panorama of African contemporaneity that is rooted, yet outward-looking.
The opening night gathered artists, patrons, and cultural figures in Rabat, with organizers framing the show as part of a wider push to platform African voices in Morocco’s capital. The launch also aligns with a season of institution-led exhibitions that position Rabat as a hub for regional exchange and discovery.
For visitors, “Quatre voix, une terre” offers an accessible point of entry into the continent’s current visual conversations — bridging geographies and generations without flattening differences. The juxtaposition of techniques and subjects rewards slow looking: traces of musicality in Baddou, the oniric pull of Berhiss, Camara Gueye’s street-level warmth, and Ilanga’s layered portraiture. In a city where museum and gallery calendars are increasingly dense, this focused quartet gives audiences a compact, high-signal survey.
The show remains open in Rabat through February 28, 2026. Practical information — including opening hours and access — can be obtained directly from the Galerie Banque Populaire and Banque Populaire Rabat-Kénitra’s communications. Media materials and reporting from Le360 and the Maghreb Arab Press confirm the exhibition dates, lineup, and opening-night context.
