Playing on this, it was also the main venue of the previous edition of the Marrakech Biennale. The literature section also took place in Riad Denise Masson, the house of the first woman who ever translated the Koran into French and Dar Cherifa, one of the oldest houses of the Medina. Finally, the exhibition opened to the most public space of the city as it merges with the visual art exhibition in the main square Jemaa El Fna, fusing the new and the old.
