The face behind the project
My name is Anissa Foukalne and I am an art historian specialized in Islamic Art. I studied in Nijmegen (The Netherlands) and Granada (Spain) and worked in museums like The Alhambra and the Rijksmuseum. My inspiration for this project started three years ago, when I was introduced to the minbar of the Qarawiyyin mosque in Fez. Since that day I was determined to share my passion for Moroccan minbars with the world.
The project
A group of interesting minbars from several Moroccan dynasties is going to be included in the permanent exhibition of a new museum about religious heritage. The museum is coordinated by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and is based in a 17th-century madrasa called Ibn Saleh in the old medina of Marrakech.
Before exhibiting the minbars, my task as an Art Historian is to research their provenance by studying their styles and visiting archives in different Moroccan institutes. For that, I will be staying in Morocco for at least 4 months (max. until March 2018).
To be able to cover my costs during the first two months, before receiving a grant, I hope to collect an amount of 1000 euro.
The use of the funds will be as follow:
- 500 euro for accomodation
- 400 euro for elementary provisions
- 100 euro for travel expenses
Are you a fan of cultural heritage? Support than my research on Moroccan minbars!
