00:00Welcome to MEDIEN TV, we are heading to the city of Meknes to talk about the new exhibition
00:14at Dar Jamei, the National Museum of Music.
00:17Throughout this year, the public is invited to explore the art of Moroccan Dinandry with
00:22the exhibition Le Metal sous toutes ses formes.
00:25Like musical instruments, which are a testament to the richness of Moroccan traditions,
00:30this exhibition will allow visitors to discover a symphony between the textures and shapes
00:36of the pieces from the museum's collection in copper, brass, silver, iron and tin,
00:43designed by Moroccan artists who over the centuries have been able to combine know-how and creativity.
00:49I invite you to listen to Safar Aqibi, who is the assistant curator of the Dar Jamei Museum.
01:01This exhibition is part of the strategy of the National Foundation for Museums,
01:06which organizes a temporary exhibition every year for a period of one year.
01:13This is the second exhibition of this kind in this museum.
01:16The first temporary exhibition of the museum was organized last year on the jewellery of Meknes.
01:22This year, the National Museum of Music presents a new exhibition that highlights objects
01:28designed from different metals.
01:31The exhibition thus presents many museum works made of copper, silver and iron.
01:37Some of these creations are made thanks to the technique called damaskinry,
01:43an art of engraving that the Ismailian capital has been able to preserve and continues to promote.
01:54Each work, in brown, green and red, reveals the softness hidden in the metal,
01:59magnified by the precision of the design, the purity of the lines and the finesse of the model.
02:04With the help of hammers and ancestral techniques,
02:07the artisans transform metal into works of art,
02:10as well as decorative and utilitarian elements.
02:12A creative process based on an alchemy between gesture and matter.
02:17The exhibition's course is enriched by photos and video projections,
02:21allowing the public to travel to the core of this traditional practice.
02:25Metal, in all its forms, is an invitation to celebrate a cultural heritage,
02:30rich and ancestral, passed down from generation to generation.
02:34I invite you to listen to Mehdi Khoutoubi,
02:37President of the National Museums Foundation.
02:40Let's listen to him.
02:42Today, it is important to see that even in a city like Meknes,
02:47Morocco can be proud to have such a beautiful museum,
02:52whether it is the content of the objects,
02:54the modernization of the communication of the objects,
02:58but also what is extraordinary,
03:00what makes this thing that unites the world,
03:03that unites men, that unites religions,
03:06is music.
03:08When you see, for example, the instruments that are on display,
03:10they are instruments that belong to,
03:13and that also underline this Morocco of living together.
03:16Living together means that music,
03:19musical instruments are both Muslim and Jewish.
03:23It is extraordinary, and to show this extraordinary Morocco,
03:27which is the Morocco of tolerance,
03:29the Morocco of living together,
03:30and to emphasize it even more by the museum.
03:33The museum is also there to preserve our traditions
03:37and to show our young generations,
03:39and also to the people, the visitors,
03:42that we have a culture, a heritage.
03:48I was going to say a heritage like a rare jewel.
03:52And now, let's go to Rabat
03:54to talk about this book signature
03:56by the writer and art critic Youssef Ouhaboun,
03:59entitled The Paradoxical Pleasure
04:01written on the visual arts in Morocco.
04:04The 246-page book, published by House of Beaux,
04:07offers texts by art critics highlighting
04:10the works of several Moroccan artists,
04:13including Hassan Hijjaj, Mohamed Hamidi,
04:15Amina Rizki, Abdelrahim Yammou, and Fathi Hazmouri.
04:18The book is made up of texts published
04:21in catalogues between 2012 and 2022,
04:25each commenting on a work in the history of Moroccan art,
04:28by Mohamed Ben Allal, Abdelkabir Rabia,
04:30Abbas Saladi, Mohamed Qassimi, Radia Bint Hossein,
04:34Mohamed Aboulouakar, and Hassan Slaoui.
04:37Let's listen to Youssef Ouhaboun.
04:40The Paradoxical Pleasure is a collection of texts.
04:44It's a book where I gathered a selection
04:49of my art critics' texts,
04:52texts I wrote in collaboration with gallery owners.
04:58These are projects that, let's say,
05:02shaped a meeting between me and certain
05:05contemporary and modern artists in Morocco.
05:10And it led to each time a text
05:13in which I question the artist's experience,
05:16his approach, or his journey.
05:19It depends, of course, on the purpose of the exhibition
05:23that is accompanied by my text.
05:28And the book also contains a part,
05:33let's say, of quantitatively important text,
05:36which is rather dedicated to texts
05:40that act directly on works of art.
05:42These are not texts dedicated to artists,
05:46but they are dedicated to paintings,
05:49to paintings, to sculptures
05:52from the history of art in Morocco.
05:57And finally, music.
05:59The talented Moroccan singer Jaylen
06:02presented her latest song, Yes Alam,
06:05in a live session released in December 2024
06:08and broadcasted on video.
06:09Jaylen offers, with this live version,
06:13another way to appreciate this written song
06:17composed by Jaylen,
06:20with her real name, Khaoula Moujahid.
06:23Let's listen to this excerpt.
06:44Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty.
