Renata Thieck-Alami, a photographer and researcher, has launched an exhibition titled 'Cap des Lumières' that focuses on the often-overlooked lighthouses of Morocco. The project aims to document and celebrate these coastal structures, which have guided mariners for centuries but are now fading from public memory.
The exhibition features photographs and historical research on lighthouses along Morocco's Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, including those at Cap Spartel, El Jadida, and Safi. Thieck-Alami's work highlights the architectural diversity and the stories of the keepers who maintained them.
According to the artist, many of these lighthouses are in disrepair or threatened by coastal erosion and urban development. The exhibition seeks to raise awareness about their preservation and cultural value.
'Cap des Lumières' is currently on display at the Galerie Delacroix in Tangier until September 2026. The project has received support from the Moroccan Ministry of Culture and the National Foundation of Museums.
