RSS - Sign the petition to support Racines, Morocco03.02.2019 Dissolution of NGO Racines, an unacceptable violation of cultural rights in Morocco
The Roberto Cimetta Fund, is outraged to learn of the dissolution of the NGO Racines, announced by the civil court of the first instance of Casablanca on 26thDecember 2018. This sudden attack is unjust and unjustifiable, serving the Moroccan Government’s desire to clamp down on associations that would dare to be too free in their expression.
The Governor of Casablanca-Anfa, a senior official of the Ministry of the Interior, filed a complaint against Racines for the hosting of a YouTube show 1 Dîner 2 Cons, a satirical political commentary. The show is one of the bastions of free speech, addressing the often-taboo topics of politics, religion and sex. During the August 5 episode, viewed more than half a million times, some guests criticized the Moroccan King’s speeches and policies regarding police repression of protests. On December 26, 2018, the civil court of the first instance of Casablanca announced the dissolution of Racines on the grounds that the group had “expressed political views which were far removed from the purposes for which the association was created.” In parallel, the show I diner 2 cons continues to work and produce its forthcoming episode. Racines has appealed the court’s decision. The sentence is currently non-binding, and Racines is continuing its work advocating for freedom of expression and cultural diversity.
Established in 2010, Racines is a non-profit, non-political and non-denominational, cultural organisation based in Casablanca, working throughout Morocco to support the setting up of cultural action and policies which respond to citizens’ needs. Racines’ work is exemplary, based on territorial diagnosis, mapping, research, advocacy, and resulting in concrete outcomes in terms of cultural entrepreneurship, training, freedom of expression and the integration of culture as a key component of social and economic stability. Their recent publication “Culture is the solution” brings clear arguments to the fore.
Freedom of artistic expression is fundamental to a free and open society. Uninhibited creative expression catalyzes social and political engagement, stimulates the exchange of ideas and opinions, and encourages intercultural dialogue, a key element to the resolution of conflicts of any kind. Freedom of expression is essential to individuals and communities, challenging us to confront difficult realities together. Restricting this freedom and the free flow of ideas strikes at the heart of the core values of an open society. Launched in 1999 as an international civil society initiative, the Roberto Cimetta Fund (RCF) expresses the determination of cultural and arts professionals in finding solutions to improve cooperation with their colleagues from the Arab world and the Middle East, strengthening exchange in a sustainable way via a multilateral mobility programme. RCF considers that the voices of artists and cultural operators like Racines and coming from every part of the world - writers, visual artists, musicians, filmmakers, performers - are more vital than ever today, at a time when we must listen to others in the search for global understanding, when we need, more than anything else, to imagine together the creative solutions for the crises of our time.
Echoing the words of many other international cultural and human rights organisations, the Roberto Cimetta Fund - its Board members, experts, staff and beneficiaires - urge the Government of Morocco to take into consideration these serious concerns and release the charges against Racines.
Sign the petition to support Racines and say no to the dissolution.

The General Fund is open to all requests for travel grants that respect the eligibility criteria of RCF. Candidates can apply from 1st to 31st January 2019.
The following general criteria of RCF apply to this fund.
1) The aim of your trip must directly or indirectly show potential for a constructive and longterm impact on the arts’ sector in your own country. This means that your travel must contribute to your own capacity building, which in turn can be shared in a “networking” fashion that will benefit connecting artists and operators in your region so as to maintain, renew and develop contemporary arts.
2) Travel can take place as soon as the call opens but in this case the applicant runs the risk of paying for travel without guarantee of the success of the application.
3) Applicant’s profile: - Nationality: no nationality criteria - Age: no age criteria - Profession: performers, creators, teachers, cultural organisers, administrators, entrepreneurs, project leaders. - Financial means: applicants who are unable to find the financial resources themselves.
4) Applications must be made by individuals and not by organisations. Only three members of a group can apply for a grant concerning the same project/group/venue. Applicants can only receive three RCF grants in total and only one application per person is possible at each call. Applicants must choose the cheapest form of transport and can only apply for one international return travel ticket and visa costs (local transport, per diems and accommodation are not covered by this fund). RCF will only use personal data in the application forms for the evaluation and selection process and for no other purpose.

RCF - Travel grants - RCF/Biennale Warszawa - Deadline: 31/12/201829.11.2018 The Roberto Cimetta Fund and Biennale Warszawa are collaborating to offer travel grants in the framework of the Biennale Warszawa in May and June 2019, thus facilitating and increasing mobility and creativity of artists between Central Eastern Europe and the Arab-Middle East region.
Biennale Warszawa is a public institution focusing on a long-term work plan and operating on 2-year work cycles, which terminate with a festival lasting several weeks. Its aim is to integrate research, activism and artistic work all in one. The main idea behind the Biennale Warszawa concept is to aggregate and structure expertise on present-day culture and art, as well as politics. From this base, new artistic, political, social, economic and ecological ideas are created and deliberated, building alternative models of functioning in the post-crisis world. The curatorial concept for the Biennale Warszawa focuses on the institution’s activities around three dualities: art / culture, research / discourse and activism / politics. Integrating these dualities of expression leads to mutual strengthening of capacities and synergies, and avoids already worked out ideas, artworks or initiatives. This way of working allows the ideas, knowledge and concepts to flow both ways between science and art. It makes it possible to include art in intervention and activist actions in the public space and to conduct art-based research projects. This model supports the process of creating new, alternative and positive projects for human life, politics, communities, economy and culture. It is essential that, when providing many different viewpoints and experiences, one does not create divisions, then impossible to overcome, but designs a new world with a vision focused on that which is common and universal instead of that which divides and disconnects.
This call is open to applications until 31st December 2018.
The applicant must directly address the context presented by Biennale Warszawa, as indicated below and focus on future possibilities for transnational commons, translocal politics beyond nation states, Central Eastern European and Arab-Middle East relations.
