Gibraltar Cultural Services (GCS), on behalf of the Ministry of Culture, is pleased to announce a new cultural exchange with Morocco as part of our continued cultural development and educational work. The aim is to promote our artistic and cultural links abroad, promote our national artists and performers and strengthen relationships with neighbouring communities.
The project is led by GCS and the JM Memorial Foundation and will build on previous cultural exchanges. These have seen numerous events take place, to include art exhibitions, educational workshops and school outreach programmes. The initiatives have engaged both Moroccan and Gibraltarian artists through art and music in projects that showcase and promote our art abroad, whilst at the same time celebrate our cross-cultural links.
The first phase of the 2025 exchange, titled ‘A Tale of Two Cities’, will feature an art exhibition at Gallery Kent in Tangier, showcasing the work of Gibraltarian artists. This initiative will further solidify the positive relationships being developed and build on opportunities for Gibraltar’s creatives. The exchange will also look at promoting literature and Gibraltar’s art history. Performances, educational workshops and an art residency will also be part of the offering.
Minister for Culture, the Hon Christian Santos GMD MP, said: “The continued collaboration between Gibraltar and Morocco is of extreme value to both cultural communities. This is a great opportunity for our creatives to showcase their talent in a different location, exchange ideas and be inspired by another culture.”
