Introduction

Body and Culture in Motion is an immersive and thought-provoking festival that explores the synergy between the body and cultural expression. With a diverse array of conferences, live performances, hands-on workshops, and sporting activities, the festival offers something for everyone.

Bringing together Moroccan and international artists and scholars, the festival seeks to deconstruct the body, not merely as a biological entity, but as a fluid vessel shaped by cultural narratives and representations.

The next edition is loading, promising even more opportunities to celebrate the body, culture, and motion, where creativity and scholarly inquiry continue to intersect and unveil fresh perspectives on human expression and identity.
