Guias para criar um Origin
Encontre ou crie um Origin em Casablanca
Casablanca’s creative community is one of the most distinctive in North Africa, shaped by the city’s Art Deco architecture, its Atlantic setting, and a cultural scene that mixes Moroccan tradition with French influence. Galleries and studios in the city center host a busy calendar of openings and portfolio nights, while design and fashion spaces in Gauthier and Maarif keep the commercial side of the scene moving. The film and photography community is strong — Casablanca has long been a center for Moroccan cinema — and the music scene runs from traditional Gnawa and chaabi to electronic and hip-hop. The Corniche anchors the social side of the creative world, with beachside venues hosting events year-round. Because the community is connected and the city is compact, a focused group with a regular evening can stand out quickly. Starting a creative Origin in Casablanca is realistic: pick a craft, a neighborhood, and a repeatable format, and the city’s talent pool will find you.
