About this audio guide
This guide to Loft Art Gallery in Casablanca opens with Curriculum Vitae, a project by architect-turned-artist Amina Agueznay, who asked weavers across rural Morocco to set down on long scrolls whatever pattern symbols they still remembered from their grandmothers before the knowledge faded for good. It follows those scrolls to a Paris museum in twenty twenty-one, then back to this gallery's own founding in two thousand nine by sisters Myriem and Yasmine Berrada, and to painter Mohamed Melehi's place among the artists shown here. Listen for how a craft nearly lost in the villages finds a second life on these walls.
