Celebrating Artistic Heritage: Hassan Kouhen's Exhibition
From September 17 to October 6, 2026, the Hassan II Foundation for Moroccans Residing Abroad will showcase a new exhibition dedicated to the Moroccan-American artist Hassan Kouhen. The opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, September 17, at 6:30 PM at the Espace Rivages, where a gathering of artists, cultural professionals, and prominent figures from the artistic community is expected.
Born in Fez in 1955 and now based in the United States, Hassan Kouhen has spent decades cultivating a body of work that reflects his artistic explorations and the myriad cultures that have influenced his journey. For Kouhen, this exhibition in Morocco represents more than just a milestone in his international artistic career; it signifies a return to his roots, a reconnection with the foundational images that have shaped his perspective over time.
The exhibition serves as an invitation to delve into the universe of an artist whose personal and artistic evolution is deeply intertwined with the themes of openness and exchange that characterize the creativity of Moroccans living abroad. Through this initiative, Espace Rivages continues to fulfill its mission as a meeting point for discovery and appreciation of artistic creation by Moroccans established outside their homeland.
Since its inception, the space has welcomed artists and creators whose journeys reflect the richness and diversity of Moroccan artistic expressions that transcend borders. By dedicating a new exhibition to Hassan Kouhen—six years after his initial presentation at Espace Rivages—the Hassan II Foundation for Moroccans Residing Abroad reaffirms its commitment to fostering artistic creation and bridging the gap between Moroccans abroad and their country of origin.
