Wall Art


As Charlie and I wander around the medina of Marrakech, and indeed around the cities and rural towns of Morocco, we repeatedly see colorful pictures appearing in numbered squares (1 to 20)emblazoned on walls. I thought it was art. I still think it is art. But I later discovered that the pictures symbolize each of the 20 political parties in Morocco. They are represented by such commonplace and nonlinear pictures as a dove, a plane, a book, a candle, a tree, scales . . . .
