The Islamic Treasures of Africa – From Timbuktu to Zanzibar

Graphic and Digital Design of the exhibition. From Dakar to Zanzibar, and from Timbuktu to Harar, the Arab World Institute (Institut du monde arabe) has highlighted African communities that have benefited from thirteen centuries of spiritual and cultural exchange with the Maghrib and the Middle East. Focusing on archaeology, architecture, immaterial heritage, and contemporary art, this exhibition brought together around 300 multidisciplinary works in an exhibition space of 1,100 m2 in order to highlight the cultural and artistic richness of the Islamic communities in sub-Saharan Africa.

In 2019, the exhibition took place at Musée Mohammed VI d’art moderne et contemporain, Rabat – Morocco
