00:00Welcome to Paris, where Morocco will be the guest of honour at the Festival du Livre de Paris,
00:16which will be held at the Grand Palais from 11 to 13 April.
00:20The French Minister of Culture, Lachida Dati, announced this at a press conference.
00:25She stressed that France and Morocco maintain strong, consolidated relations
00:31through the Strengthened Exception Partnership,
00:34which was sealed on the occasion of President Emmanuel Macron's last state visit to Morocco
00:40at the invitation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
00:43After recalling that France and Morocco share Francophony,
00:47Lachida Dati noted that culture occupies a special place in this partnership,
00:54highlighting the richness and diversity of Moroccan literary production.
01:03The book Toujours is directed at the capital of the kingdom,
01:07where the presentation of the book Rabat,
01:10a cultural heritage and an anchored memory of the author Saïd Rgheghi, took place.
01:16This book highlights the cultural, linguistic and civilizational heritage of the city of Rabat
01:22by documenting, through texts and rare photos,
01:25the most striking historical and architectural monuments of Medina.
01:29The book, as a result of the author's personal experience
01:33and field research carried out for many years,
01:37highlights the details of the arches, doors and engravings
01:41that reflect the importance of the Andalusian affluent in the city's architecture.
01:47I invite you to listen to the author, Saïd Rgheghi.
01:52I tried to point out all the places that are engraved
01:56in the ancient, deep ties inside the walls.
02:01In this book, I tried to gather all the possible information
02:05relating to the Medina of Rabat.
02:07The testimonies were related to the daily expressions
02:11typical of the city, which did not exist anywhere else.
02:15It is also an issue in the book of traditions and customs of the city of Rabat,
02:20especially since some of them are on the verge of extinction.
02:25Without falling into redundancies, I tried to address this heritage of the city of Rabat
02:30by relying on the testimonies of large families of the Medina of Rabat,
02:35the vast majority of which are of Andalusian origin.
02:39Rabat Toujours is this photographic exhibition at the Servantes Institute
02:44entitled Andalusian Architecture, a meeting point between the West and the Islamic East
02:50and which continues until April 6.
02:53This project was born from the collaboration between the Spanish Embassy in Morocco,
02:57the Servantes Institute and the Legado Andalus Foundation,
03:01inviting the public to explore Andalusian architecture,
03:04a heritage of inestimable richness.
03:07Art and architecture come together to offer a space for reflection
03:11on Andalusian architecture and the deep links between the two banks of the Mediterranean.
03:15The images exhibited during this event show the construction of citadels,
03:20castles, walls, towers, palaces, minarets, baths, cisterns
03:25and water reservoirs, which are now an integral part of the landscape of the two cities of Rabat.
03:31I invite you to listen to Maria del Mar Sánchez Estrella,
03:35the Secretary General of the Historical and Documentary Heritage of the Junta de Andalusia
03:40and the Spanish Ambassador to Morocco, Enrique Ojeda Vila.
03:44Let's listen to them.
03:45I would like to thank all the people who made this exhibition possible,
03:50in particular the Spanish Embassy in Morocco, the Servantes Institute,
03:56which opened this magnificent space for visitors to come here
04:01and discover this historical heritage,
04:04in particular this marvellous architecture,
04:07which is the testimony of an era that continues today
04:11to strengthen these links that exist between our two countries.
04:15And that is why I invite all the inhabitants of Rabat,
04:18but also of Morocco, to listen to Maria del Mar Sánchez Estrella,
04:22I invite all the inhabitants of Rabat, but also of Morocco,
04:25to come and discover this exhibition,
04:28a reflection of the friendship between Morocco and Spain.
04:35This beautiful exhibition, which is in fact a masterpiece,
04:38highlights this common past of Spain and Morocco,
04:42and which means that we are today strategic partners for the present and the future.
