Cultural, multidisciplinary riad, meeting place,
living space, creation, reflection.

Founded in September 2013, Le 18 is an independent platform for creation, dissemination and cultural and artistic exchanges. Our objective is twofold: to support emerging artists by accompanying their research through residencies and by disseminating their projects within the space through exhibitions, presentations, meetings with the public. We also want to connect the Marrakchi cultural scenes to those of the international one and allow foreign artists to intervene in Marrakech. The approach is intended to be open and evolving so that each intervention contributes to redefining the spirit of the place while continuing its commitment to creation.

Located in Riad Laarouss, a district of the old medina of Marrakech, Le 18 (s’) offers proximity to the traditional lifestyles of Marrakech, and draws its raison d’√™tre from this neighbourhood: we wish to help liberate this who, in the Medina, can inspire creativity, by confronting it with the approaches of artists who will deploy their views and their questions.
