Jidar - Street Art Festival

Since its launch in 2015, the Jidar festival has transformed Rabat into one of the most interesting centers of international urban art. This transformation is a constant Work In Progress and the 10th edition scheduled from May 8 to 18, 2025 will continue to enrich the cultural heritage of the city with a new series of works of art created by world-renowned artists.

As for each edition, Jidar invites national and international artists to the heart of the capital to offer them the opportunity to help us understand and decipher the world in which we currently evolve through the artistic sensitivity of each person.

Each wall created is an artistic narration generously offered by an artist to the general public in the city of Rabat. And what is culture, if not a set of narratives and stories that are told, spread and persist...? Moreover, it is the annual creation of works of public art that constitutes Jidar’s raison d’être: to challenge existing narratives, encourage reflection and expand the boundaries of the local imagination.

This will once again be at the heart of the programming for this year 2021 with a focus on the role of street art in unraveling the collective memories of the city, proposing new itineraries, and breaking down real or imaginary borders between neighborhoods by proposing a new urban cartography through our various activities.
