82 Country-Specific Information — IMPEDIMENTS — Visas · Several respondents noted the dramatic difficulty of obtaining visas to Schengen Europe: long processing times, bureaucratic demands, frequent refusals and, in the event that the visa is granted, it is often for a pitifully short number of days. · Travel times to embassies in Rabat were also noted as a reason for frustration. · Travel to Egypt was noted as a growing area of difficulty. It’s become very difficult for young artists to enter Schengen Europe. Things miraculously get much simpler when their artistic project is backed by a European state institution or when that institution takes ownership of the project. – Maria Daïf, independent cultural operator, Casablanca* Morocco / Algeria (see Algeria section) Neocolonialism / paternalism · Several respondents expressed the wish to have mobility opportunities outside of Europe, in light of old colonial/paternalistic relationships between France and Morocco and especially in light of their exacerbation in the form of visa policy. There is the legacy of colonialism – especially French – that we’d like to detach from. For example, the Moroccan administrative system is partly modelled on the French system. We’d like to create our own models of development, our own way of doing things that fits our local reality. – Amina Mourid, Cultural operator, co-founder, Atelier Kissaria & Think Tanger* Geographic isolation · Several respondents noted Morocco’s geographical isolation as an impediment to mobility: with the Algerian border closed and the gates of Europe blocked to the North, Morocco is enclaved. To the South, Morocco controls the border with the portion of Western Sahara that is under Moroccan occupation. — M O R O C C O — · Morocco’s distance from the Middle East disconnects it from the lively scene and networks operating in hubs such as Beirut, Amman, Ramallah and Cairo. Restrictions on freedom of expression · Civil society associations are active but remain subject to legal harassment, travel restrictions, and other forms of repression. · For example, an important signpost was the December 26 dissolution of cultural organization Racines, on charges of organizing an activity outside its scope of action and hosting a debate that was “prejudicial to the country’s institutions.” Language: · Moroccan artists applying for funding may find themselves restricted by language barriers. There’s a linguistic conflict when it comes to [application] forms : Classical Arabic is intimidating and more and more young people are rejecting French. English needs to be more present if the goal is to reach young people. – Maria Daïf* Lack of identification to Africa and racism · Moroccans have had an uneasy relationship with Africa, which can express itself in racism. Pan-Arabism somewhat squandered African identity; it has left Moroccans with a sense of non- African-ness as well as a form of self-denigration towards their own popular culture, whereas the social reality is that Africa begins in Tangiers and ends in Cape Town. It’s really in the head that it happens. There is also the question of Berberity here, because that is what carries Africanness. Berberity is extraordinarily diverse. It’s a huge subject. – Hicham Bahou, Co-director of EAC- L’Boulvard, Casablanca* Morocco’s migratory policy is geared at integration; it is taking in refugees, people in transit, who are fleeing difficult realities. Socially, it’s creating a lot of incomprehension, questioning, in which culture is not playing the role it should. Culture is supposed to be the cement for all these populations: we’re completely African in our musical and cultural heritage. – Ghita Kaldi, Director of Afrikayna, Casablanca*
