On September 9, 2026, as part of the tenth season of the "Dar Poetry Salon," Dar Poetry in Marrakech will host a new segment of its literary and cultural program titled "Contemporary Voices." This event promises to be a vibrant gathering of talent and creativity, featuring notable poets such as Amal Al-Ghareeb, Muhammad Ashraf Al-Shawi, Abdelilah Mahdad, and Abdelhak Belmadani, alongside the artist Ibrahim Labloul.
The program will include heartfelt testimonials from the poets discussing the theme of "Questions of Writing Today," complemented by their poetic readings. Additionally, the event will foster an open dialogue, inviting audience members and attendees to engage with the poets in meaningful conversations.
According to the Dar Poetry, these featured experiences represent a youthful and contemporary segment of the poetic landscape, as the institution continues its commitment to showcasing new generations of Moroccan poets. These poets share a profound love for poetry and explore diverse inquiries within their craft, enriching the tapestry of modern Moroccan poetry. They are not only focused on the present but also write with an eye towards the future, weaving together a variety of aesthetic choices and writing questions. This intertwining of poetic paths and writing choices is a defining characteristic of their shared narrative.
The participating poets belong to the same new poetic generation, balancing their artistic writing with their engagement in the questions surrounding contemporary Moroccan creativity. Through this initiative, Dar Poetry in Marrakech is opening a new window for dialogue and interaction, dubbed "Their Voices (n)." This interactive window is a significant addition to the cultural and poetic program for its tenth season, aiming to further connect with the experiences, sensitivities, and generations of modern Moroccan poetry. The diverse array of activities within this program reinforces the institution's strategy to serve as a dedicated space for Moroccan poetry and its poets.
