This exhibition looks to study some of the stereotypes, images and misconceptions produced between the time of the Napoleonic campaign in Egypt and Syria (1798 – 1801) and 1956, when Morocco and Tunisia gained their independence. The works presented emphasise how avant-garde movements created associations with “exoticism” in order to try and come away from the canon of tradition.
