Mostapha Romli is an artist and a curator. His creative work began with photography, and led him to print-making, painting and video. A versatile visual artist, Mostapha Romli is developing an increasingly committed body of work that confronts the viewer with violence, particularly that which is done to women’s bodies. Mostapha Romli is the Founding President of the International Biennale of Casablanca.Titled “Words build images”, the fifth edition of the Casablanca Biennale will happen in summer 2023. It is inspired by the work of the South-African photographer George Hallet and by the role of African literature in the creation of images.

Marisa Caichiolo is an Argentinian artist and curator. Her investigations focus on the impact of social and political changes on society. Her work as a promotor of cultural international exchanges led her to initiate Building Bridges Foundation, an international NGO based in Santa Monica, CA. The foundation is conceived to be a platform for critical thinking, and researching, local and international programs in Los Angeles, art residencies, and education programs among others.
