Inside Marrakech:
Color, Craft, and Culture
Step inside a city where color holds meaning, artisans are storytellers, and culture is woven into every interaction. This issue explores the Marrakech that exists beyond the frame, vibrant, grounded, and alive.
Editor's Letter
Dear Reader,
We often talk about travel as an escape or a chance to find ourselves, but Marrakech taught me about the importance of focusing on just being and existing in the moment. Many of my favorite memories from this trip aren’t flashy or dramatic; they took place over quiet dinners or steaming cups of tea, which offered a chance to reflect and think.
From the shopkeepers who made sure I got home safe, to the hotel manager who sent me back to bed when it was clear I wasn’t feeling well, this city made sure that I felt loved, cared for, and rested. Marrakech taught me about finding peace even when things around you feel like they may be going too fast. So while these articles feature stories full of jaw-dropping moments, I hope that you’re able to feel the way this city wrapped me in its tapestry and made me feel at home.
Until Next Time,
Joy Grant
