ArtDayME: The Musée d'Art Moderne Paris is particularly interested in twentieth-century Arab artists, who are little known on the European art scene. For this purpose, the museum is organizing a major exhibition from April 5 to August 25, 2024. Entitled Présences arabes - Art moderne et décolonisation - Paris 1908-1988, the exhibition features twentieth-century artists from Syria, Morocco, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Tunisia and elsewhere. The exhibition is curated by Morad Moazami.

In all, more than 200 works are on display, most of which have never before been shown in France. Paintings, sculptures, photographs, sound and audiovisual archives make up this long journey, which reveals the wealth ofmodern Arab art, as well as the links between Arab artists and Paris, from 1908 to the turn of the 21st century.

Nearly 130 artists are highlighted in this exhibition, artists who are rarely represented, yet whose works have made an essential contribution to the Arab avant-garde and to the history of modern art in the 20th century.

The works of artists such as Fahrelnissa Zeid, Mahmoud Said, Huguette Caland, Amy Nimr, Fatma Arargi, Baya, Mahmoud Mokhtar, Mayo, Jamil Hamoudi, Hamed Abdalla, Jewad Selim, Abdelaziz Gorgim and other famous artists of the Arab world are exhibited in this exhibition. .

The exhibition is to be discovered until August 25, 2024.
