Casablanca Art School’s collective modernism revisited in Sharjah

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Nancy Dantas’s ArtThrob feature traced the Casablanca Art School’s challenge to colonial hierarchies through an exhibition in Sharjah. Historical publications, ceramics, murals and archival research connected classroom experimentation with public interventions in Morocco. Dantas emphasised how African, Amazigh, Islamic and Mediterranean inheritances informed a collective modernism, placing the school’s educational ambitions within wider African and Arab cultural networks rather than a narrowly national art history.
