Fondation Montresso* - Résidence d'artistes Jardin Rouge

This guide to the Fondation Montresso in Marrakesh tells the story of Jean-Louis Haguenauer, who first came to Morocco in 1970 and later built a private art collection and funded workshops abroad before deciding he wanted a place where art actually got made. It follows how he opened Jardin Rouge in 2009, a walled, olive-grove compound outside the city where around ten artists live and work in private studios at any time, given materials and a budget and asked for nothing but the work itself. Listen as you walk the red mud walls that give the residency its name.
