They are business leaders, fashion designers, athletes, artists, tour operators and scientists, born of Moroccan parents and true world citizens. In the Rue du Maroc, Otto Snoek focuses his camera on 14 Moroccans who were born or raised in the Netherlands or Belgium. Thanks to their multilingualism and knowledge of different cultures, they travel naturally between different countries, different cultures and different worlds. Out of conviction, they exchanged the safety of the Netherlands for the adventure and opportunities that Casablanca, Antwerp or Qatar represent.
