Culture in Moka

The motto of the Moka Art and Culture team is to bring urban spaces to life and regenerate them through Art and culture.

They are working to develop cultural activities in the streets of the city and support art through an artistic residency programme at Les Kocottes. Exhibitions, installations, street art, musical performances and other activities will add vibrancy to Moka and inspire everyone in their daily lives! Our ambition is to keep art alive in the streets, parks and public infrastructure, mostly free of charge and open to all!
