l'Atelier de La Source du lion 3.84

La Source du Lion is a project made by artists.

Born from Hassan Darsi and other artists’ will, La Source du Lion has contributed over the past ten years to the achievement of numerous projects, inside and outside Casablanca.
Evolving around the concept of «Artistic Passerelle», its activities and projects aim at questionning the place of art as well as the artist ; art being considered as a project that involves various dynamics : social, political, economical, environmental, cultural…
Therefore, the «Artistic Passerelle» is considered as a way to create links and establish a dialogue between artistic actors and their public, to help artists to develop and exhibit their work and foster new contemporary artistic forms.
Thus, La Source Du Lion has over the past 20 years instilled new dynamics to Morocco contemporary art scene, turning art into a real stake implicating municipalities, the media and professional art galleries.
In 2008, la Source du Lion has opened in Casablanca a new platform for research, experimentation, production and artistic collaboration : «La Source du Lion Workshop», that constitutes a pilot project in Morocco. Actions being carried out through this project are driven by the will to «inhabit» the city differently. This approach is vital to our futur actions, in order to preserve the same concept that has always motivated our thoughts and structured our projects.
