Morocco, Many Eyes, One Vision!

In spring 2019, five photography students received a Hite scholarship to travel to Morocco under the supervision of Professor Mary Carothers and Rachid Tagoulla, Hite’s first international MFA student. The group participated in a film festival sponsored by Ibn Zohr University, based in Agadir, a modern coastal city where they made lasting friendships from all over the world. Additionally, students met with photographers from Club Photo d’Agadir and discussed ways to build exchange exhibitions. The Hite students then accompanied Professor Carothers to Tetouan, an ancient city nestled in the Rif mountains, where she has developed a partnership with Green Olive Art Center. This partnership will provide customized artist residencies for Hite students beginning summer 2020.

Morocco, Many Eyes, One Vision! presents an inclusive exhibition of photographs realized by each of the Hite students that attended the excursion and members of Club Photo D’Agadir. These photographers are encouraging us to explore, on our own, the ideas and emotions that bind humanity together. Connecting photographers and artists in general from two continents is an on-going partnership between University of Louisville, Ibn Zohr University, Photo Club D’Agadir, Green Olive Art Center and is also a future Sister Cities friendship between Louisville and Agadir. Morocco, Many Eyes, One Vision! will have an opening reception on Saturday October 5, 2019 from 1-3 pm at the MFA Gallery located at 1606 Rowan Street, Louisville, KY 40203.
