Gibraltar's longstanding cultural ties with Morocco will once again take centre stage with the launch of the art exhibition ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, part of the Gibraltar Tangier exchange, on Thursday 10th April 2025. The event, organised by Gibraltar Cultural Services on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, is being produced in collaboration with the JM Memorial Foundation.

The Minister for Culture and Tourism, Christian Santos, will officially open the event at Gallery Kent in Tangier. The exhibition promises to be a vibrant and celebratory occasion, featuring the works of seven talented local artists. The exhibition will showcase the works of Aaron Soleci, Ambrose Avellano, Jane Langdon, Karl Ullger, Leslie Gaduzo, Mark Montovio and Sky Arts Landscape of the Year winner Monica Popham.

The exhibition will be a mix of styles and mediums, with paintings, sculptures and textiles represented. It is designed to further strengthen the cultural exchange between Gibraltar and Morocco, offering invaluable promotional and networking opportunities for the artists involved.

The diverse works on display will also showcase a range of contemporary artistic expressions, including acrylics, oils, mixed media, ceramics, wood, and metal. Each piece reflects the unique voices and creative visions of the artists, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between these two cities.

Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism, the Hon Christian Santos GMD MP, said: “This exchange with Morocco is a perfect platform for our local artists to showcase their talent and make valuable contacts. As Minister for Culture this is exactly the type of opportunity I want to ensure our creatives have access to. My thanks to Gibraltar Cultural Services, the JM Memorial Foundation and Gallery Kent for organising and facilitating this event.”
