I. OVE RV IE W The Berber Museum, inaugurated in 2011, is housed in the former painting studio of the artist Jacques Majorelle. It presents a panorama of the extraordinary creativity of the Imazighen (Berber) people, the oldest of North Africa. More than 600 objects from the Rif Mountains to the Sahara, collected by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, attest to the richness and diversity of this vibrant culture, still very much alive today. The collection is displayed in four distinct spaces, each devoted to a particular theme: The first presents the history and geography of the Berber people – or Imazighen (Amazigh, sing.) – of Morocco, as well as a map showing the most significant tribal regions. A comprehensive audiovisual documentation accompanies visitors throughout their tour of the museum. The public is then invited to discover the tangible and intangible savoir-faire that turns various base materials into mundane or ceremonial objects and utensils. The diversity of handmade crafts is finely expressed in woodwork, leatherwork, pottery, and basketry. Ornaments, in turn, hold an important place in the museum. Crafted by outstanding, often nomadic jewellers, they are an expression of tribal identity and the social status of the women who wear them; a form of disposable savings, well suited to the economic uncertainties of a rural society. The necklaces are designed by women who, in the style of their particular regions, combine amber, coral, and amazonite with silver elements – a profusion of materials and symbolic forms – imbued with medicinal virtues. Berber groups throughout Morocco, whether sedentary or nomadic, show a very definite taste for finery. Clothing, jewellery, and accessories reflect their identity and form their ‘festive apparel’, the variety of which is displayed during large social gatherings. The museum’s fourth and last exhibition space is thus entirely dedicated to costumes, as well as weapons, weavings, carpets, embellished residential doors, and musical instruments. Every year, the Berber Museum organizes a symposium which explores contemporary issues related to Berber identity and heritage. Their proceedings, published as the Cahiers du Musée Berbère, are widely disseminated to museums and international institutions. The programming of travelling exhibitions and the mobility of the museum’s collection are also part of this dynamic process, resulting in the exhibition, Berber Women of Morocco, presented in 2014 at the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent in Paris. In 2015, it will travel to the National Museum of Bahrain in Manama, and the Bibliothèque Nationale du Royaume du Maroc in Rabat.

TH E BE R BER M USE UM

Since my arrival in Marrakech in 1966, I have remained fascinated by Berber art and culture. Over the years, I have collected and admired this art which extends over many countries at the same time. The Berbers have always been rightly proud of their culture, and have not ceased to reclaim their identity in spite of the vicissitudes they have faced. In Marrakech, in Berber country, in the Jardin Majorelle created by an artist who painted so many scenes of Berber men and women, the idea of this museum occurred to us quite naturally. It is with great pride and pleasure that we open the museum to the public, so that they share our enthusiasm and accompany us in the footsteps of a culture very much alive today. Pierre Bergé

1 . A N INTROD UCTI ON TO TH E BERBER PEOPLE

The Imazighen (singular Amazigh) or Berbers, are among the original peoples of North Africa. Their myths, legends and history span 9,000 years, and can be traced to the Proto-Mediterraneans. They have achieved unity by maintaining their unique language and culture which are, like their land, both African and Mediterranean. The Berbers of Morocco share this duality, reflecting the diversity of their nature and stormy history. Through close contact with other peoples of the Mediterranean, they created kingdoms as well as vast territories organised into powerful, democratic, warmongering, tribal communities. Both aspects of this sociopolitical organisation have left a mark on recent historical events and the country’s history spanning two millennia. As opposed to the pagan Mediterranean kingdoms of antiquity, Berber empires developed inland and were Muslim. Judaism continued to be practiced, and the Sunni Islam majority gradually took on a Berber hue with its brotherhoods, zaouias, marabouts and rituals.

The roots of Berber culture reach deep into Morocco’s protohistory. They are illustrated by a strong link with the land, a sense of community, hospitality, sharing food and a specific relationship with spirituality. Its openness to many influences, whether Mediterranean, African, Oriental, European, or International have helped define its current characteristics. The Berber language, an Afro-Asian idiom, is a historical and cultural melting pot of the country. It has outlived most languages of antiquity such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Phoenician and Egyptian. It used to be written but is now mainly oral. Although there are fewer now that can speak it, the language is nevertheless still used by a substantial number of Moroccans. A true symbol of identity, the language crystallizes political demands and unleashes passions. The recent recognition of the country’s Berberity would seem to signify a will to preserve the language for future generations, including its ancient alphabet called Tifinagh. Ahmed Skounti Anthropologist at the Institut national des sciences de l’archéologie et du patrimoine, Rabat.

Principal places of origin of the exhibited objects The map shows only the provenance in Morocco – either regions, places, or social groups – of the Berber Museum’s collection. The Berber domain covers a vast crescent which extends from the Mediterranean to the fringes of the desert, including the land towards the Sahara (beyond the Tekna), the Atlantic plains of Casablanca and Rabat, the Fes-Saiss basin, and the Tingitana (Tangier) Peninsula. In all these regions, place-name studies and the culture – both material and immaterial – show evidence of a very real Berber influence.

The Berber language In Morocco, the Berber language includes three major dialects: tarifit in the North, tamazight in the Centre and Southeast, and tachelhit in the Southwest. In addition, there are many people who speak Berber in the large urban areas such as Casablanca, Rabat, Fes and Tangier. Since the creation of the Royal Institute of the Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) in 2001, an attempt has been made to standardize the Berber language, with a goal of raising the language’s visibility in contemporary Morocco. 9/31

The custom of these women is to wear solid silver hoops or rings in their ears. Some of them wear up to four. To attach garments over their shoulders, they also use special rings in the form of buckles, which are so thick that they sometimes weigh up to an ounce. They also wear, around their fingers and legs, special silver bands – but only the nobles and rich, because the poor, not having the means to offer themselves such heavy jewellery, wear only iron and copper.

V. TH E JA RD I N M A J OR E LL E

History In 1919, during the French Protectorate, the French painter Jacques Majorelle (1886 – 1962) arrived in the medina of Marrakech. In 1922, he purchased a palm grove on the outskirts of the city, and seven years later built the Villa Bousafsaf, inspired by classical Moroccan architecture. In 1980, it was acquired by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, who renamed it the Villa Oasis. In 1931, Majorelle commissioned the architect Paul Sinoir to build an artist’s studio in an astonishingly modern Art Deco style. The building included an apartment upstairs, and a ground floor studio where he could paint large canvases. The garden he planted around the studio reflected his passion for botany. Designed around a long, central basin, he composed several different ambiances with a luxurious vegetation that became a refuge for hundreds of birds. The garden developed into a living work of art, embellished by exotic and rare plant species that Majorelle would bring back from his worldwide travels: cacti, yucca, water lilies, jasmines, bougainvilleas, palms, coconut and banana trees, bamboos . . . In 1937, the artist created an ultramarine blue colour that was intense and luminous at the same time – referred to today as Majorelle Blue – with which he painted the walls of his studio and later the entire garden, which he opened to the public in 1947. Following an automobile accident, Majorelle was taken to Paris, where he died in 1962. The garden fell into a state of neglect. It was saved from becoming a real estate project in 1980, when the garden was acquired by Pierre Bergé and Yves Saint Laurent, who brought it back to life. After the death of Yves Saint Laurent in 2008, Pierre Bergé donated the Jardin Majorelle to the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent. 22/31

Majorelle, A Moroccan Oasis

The Jardin Majorelle, located in the southern Moroccan desert oasis of Marrakech, is one of the 20th century’s most enchanting, even mystical, garden experiences. Created over the course of nearly forty years, the garden complex is a labyrinth composed of bisecting pathways and interconnected levels, Moorish and Art Deco-inspired structures, and bold palettes, all assembled among a vast, opulent array of exotic plants and trees collected from the far reaches of the world. Conceived as a walled inner sanctum and laboratory by French-born painter Jacques Majorelle, the garden is a place of individual expression and great power rarely seen in contemporary garden design. [...] Like fellow artist Claude Monet, Majorelle was to become one of the most important plant collectors of his time, and his garden became the backdrop for his canvases. Similar to Monet in his vast quest for new plants, Majorelle financed plant expeditions, imported rare varieties, and corresponded with other collectors and botanical gardens around the world.

The Café Bousafsaf

In its shade-filled Moroccan courtyard, the Café Bousafsaf welcomes guests during opening hours at the garden. A choice of Moroccan or Continental breakfast is available, and lunch is served à la carte (salads and hot food). It’s an ideal place to enjoy a peaceful moment, on the terrace under the trees and white bougainvillea, or inside in the cosy, traditional Moroccan salons, heated by chimney fires in winter.

A non-profit association was created in 2001, with the goal of protecting the ecological, historical and cultural patrimony of the Jardin Majorelle. Granted state approval by decree N° 2.11.647 on November 4, 2011, it became the Fondation Jardin Majorelle. Since 2010, the Jardin Majorelle has been the property of the Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, recognized by the French government. The garden welcomes nearly 800,000 visitors a year, both foreign tourists and Moroccan citizens. It is open every day of the year and employs 85 people. Students are offered a reduced admission price, and upon request in advance, free admission is provided to school groups and non-profit organisations. Funds generated from ticket receipts are used to ensure the ongoing maintenance of the garden and to acquire new pieces for the museum’s collection. Surplus funds are used by the Fondation Jardin Majorelle to finance cultural and educational projects in Morocco.

Projects funded by the Fondation Jardin Majorelle include • Scholarships for the École Supérieure des Arts Visuels de Marrakech, (ESAV) • Scholarships in partnership with the Marrakech Museum for Photography and the Visual Arts (MMP+) to benefit Moroccan students studying museology at the University of Arizona, USA • The Association Cinémathèque de Tanger, a non-profit organization • Dar al-Ma’mûn, an international centre for artistic residencies, Marrakech

Donations to the Fondation Jardin Majorelle In 2014, the Berber Museum received important collections of Berber textiles as generous gifts from private collectors. The Fondation Jardin Majorelle is hoping to enrich its collection by encouraging donations from other private collectors, both in Morocco and overseas. Donated objects and textiles enjoy a high visibility – both at the museum and via travelling exhibitions – and an optimal conservation environment.
