With more than 100 galleries—primarily from Asia, Africa and the Middle East but also from Europe and the United States—the fair reaffirmed its global character with a firm commitment to representing the Global South and offering an alternative to traditional circuits. Works by post-war icon Mohammed Kacimi—deeply influenced by the sea, the desert and global conflict—coexisted with pieces by Mustapha Akrim, Khadija Jayi, Fatiha Zemmouri and Mohamed Arejdal, the latter with sales to collectors from Bahrain, Beirut, Rabat and Marrakech. BREAKFAST—a key figure in digital and kinetic art—presented a solo booth with limited-edition works, including pieces from the Warming Seas series, which translates oceanic data into dynamic visualizations, and Interwoven Existence, an installation of more than 6,000 kinetic discs previously shown at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
