About this audio guide
This guide to David Bloch Gallery in Marrakesh opens in Rabat in May 2015, with a Frenchman and a spray can painting Arabic letters across a city wall. He is Vincent Abadie Hafez, who signs as Zepha, and you'll hear how a graffiti writer from Toulouse came to study traditional calligraffiti and what he does to letters on canvas. Along the way it covers the gallery's 2010 opening on rue des Vieux Marrakchis and the shows he kept bringing back to it. Best heard standing in the lane outside.
