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.
