ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Hosted by Fez Art Residency, 8WEEKSinFEZ is a place-based artist residency and cultural storytelling project offering fully-funded accommodation to selected visual artists in the historic Fez Medina, Morocco.

Set in the heart of the world’s oldest and largest medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest car-free urban zone, the programme invites artists to engage deeply with the living traditions, textures, and creative spirit of the city.

So much beauty passes us by every day, and it takes someone with a special eye to pause and immortalize the moment in a photograph. The wonder of photography is that it’s not only a showcase on the beauties of life, it’s seeing those beauties through the eyes and style of the artist themselves.
