The Alliances Foundation will launch the<br />

opening of its new museum, the Museum of<br />

Contemporary and African Art Al Maaden<br />

(MACAAL).<br />

The first exhibition of eighty works from forty<br />

African artists, under the title “Essentiel<br />

Paysage”, aims to enhance the<br />

contemporary African creativity, in its<br />

geographical and cultural diversity, focused<br />

on sustainable development. With their<br />

works, these contemporary African artists<br />

symbolize the struggle against climate<br />

change through committed pieces of art.<br />

The MACAAL route is structured around 5<br />

themes: “Told Nature”, “The Tree of Life”,<br />

“Man and Sea”, “Recycle/Resist” and<br />

“Aspiring Nature”.<br />

The 800-square metre <strong>COP22</strong>-labeled<br />

project, near the Al Maaden Golf and its<br />

impressive sculptures park, will only be open<br />

for private visits from November 7 to 14, and<br />

then open to the public daily.<br />
