Ziara, curated by Amit Hai Cohen, presented the work of leading contemporary Moroccan artists from around the world, bringing together shared Moroccan wisdom. The exhibition took place at the historic YMCA building in Jerusalem, a space dedicated to fostering dialogue and positive relations between the city’s religions and communities.

In questioning conventional aesthetic boundaries, the exhibition advances an ongoing Moroccan approach that opposes dichotic categorization. This approach blurs the differences between entertainment and culture, art and craft, rabbinical writing and YouTube channels, and between Jewish and Muslim cultures.
