Vukanović discovered her love for photography as a child during the war years in Yugoslavia. A friend of her father, a professional photographer, noticed her talent early on and trained her in the art of photography in his studio.
Over the years, she continued her studies in different fields and graduated in law at the University of Malaga in Spain, and later studied in Brazil and Turkiye, where she also earned a master's degree in international security. Despite her academic achievements, photography has always remained her true passion. Dolores Vukanović's 'Morocco Through My Lens' exhibition

For Vukanović, each photo tells a small story, and she wants audiences around the world to experience life through her unique perspective.
Her work aims to bring out the warmth, hospitality, and beauty of Morocco, a country she says she loves as much as her own Serbia. Dolores Vukanović's 'Morocco Through My Lens' exhibition Tags: CulturePhotographySerbia

Co-organized by Avempace and the New Orleans Jazz Museum, the event is running through June 14 at the Automobile Club du Maroc in Bouskoura, bringing together Jazz musicians from Morocco and New Orleans for three unforgettable nights. CasaNola, a cultural bridge powered by the Jazz International initiative of the New Orleans Jazz Museum, brings music legends to move your soul. Designed to promote the spirit of New Orleans across the world, the program honors the city's rich musical heritage through a moving celebration in Casablanca. CasaNola's lineup The festival opens with a back-and-forth groovy conversation on the world of jazz between James Andrews & Crescent City All Stars and flutist Adil Chrafi tonight. Micheal Withe & New Orleans All Stars will then lead audiences on a musical journey across time, driving us through rhythmic universes with Moroccan Oud master Alaa Zouiten on Friday, June 13. CasaNola is set to conclude on Saturday, June 14 with one last blissful night led by Mahmoud Chouki & New Orleans Fusion, merging New Orleans rhythms with North African melodies. How do we get tickets? CasaNola tickets now available on You can choose a single-day pass for 400 MAD ($44) or immerse yourself in the full jazz experience with your three-day festival pass for 950 MAD ($104). This is a rare musical exchange you would not want to miss. The soulful interplay between African melodies and jazz New to the origin story of this eclectic and world renowned genre? Jazz, the musical child of blues and parent of countless genres, originated in African-American communities in New Orleans, in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The American military introduced jazz to Morocco during World War II, and its soulful melodies started flowing in and out of military bases and venues across Casablanca. In 1969, Jacques Muyal produced and released the album 'The 4 American Jazzmen in Tangier,' based on recordings in Morocco in 1959. The Moroccan-born die-hard jazz fanatic hosted an influential radio show as a teenager in Tangier , giving worldwide exposure to jazz musicians at the time. The complexity of jazz and its ability to break through musical norms while adhering to strict mathematical rules was like a match made in heaven with Moroccan and greater African music. The unusual time signatures and singular notes that intentionally touch specific nerves seemed to go hand in hand with Gnaoua and other African genres. Jazz further made its way into the Gnaoua scene in 2018, with a debut performance between renowned Maalem Hamid El Kasri and Jacob Collier & Friends at the BBC Proms. Both pioneers in their respective genres, the show was a striking example of how these worlds could work in harmony and create absolute beauty. Jazz artists now regularly frequent the lineups of Essaouria's Gnaoua and World Festival, which takes place every year in the Moroccan coastal town.

King Mohammed VI, Trump to Announce Major Boeing Aircraft Purchase Deal
Rabat — Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is expected to renew its fleet through a new deal with Boeing, as well as a new small order from Airbus. Reuters quoted industry sources as saying that Royal Air Maroc is close to securing a deal with Boeing for dozens of jets. Europe's Airbus, however, is also seeking to supply the Moroccan carrier with a small order for 20 A220 jets. 'The sources asked not to be named because the negotiations are not public,' Reuters reported , noting that talks have been ongoing for over a year to enable Royal Air Maroc to renew its virtually all-Boeing fleet. The company is expected to cling to its traditional supplier for its demands, including the 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner. 'While the fleet plan reinforces the carrier's historic ties with Boeing, the sources said, it opens the door to Airbus for the first time in almost 25 years with an order for the A220,' the news outlet said. It also recalled that the potential order from Airbus comes as Morocco and France are boosting bilateral ties at all levels. These ties have been building rapidly ever since France's historic decision to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in Western Sahara in July of last year. Reuters' report came a few days after Bloomberg announced the same news, noting that Royal Air Maroc is in the final stages of a significant aircraft deal with Boeing, alongside a smaller agreement with Airbus. Bloomberg cited sources familiar with the matter, noting that the Boeing order could be delayed, potentially pending a high-level meeting between King Mohammed VI and US President Donald Trump. If confirmed, the high-level meeting could further upgrade the already strengthening ties between the US and Morocco, particularly as Washington has recently reaffirmed its steadfast support for Morocco's territorial integrity, especially over the southern provinces in Western Sahara. Earlier this month, Minister of Transport and Logistics Abdessamad Kayouh said in a parliamentary session on June 3 that Royal Air Maroc plans to acquire 10 more aircraft before the end of the year and another 10 in 2026. He said that the company also welcomed three Boeing 787 Dreamliners during the first week of June, on top of two new planes delivered earlier this year. In 2023, Royal Air Maroc announced that it is seeking to increase its fleet of commercial aircraft, boosting the number from 50 to 200 over the next 15 years. The program is part of the government's pledges to support the tourism roadmap. Morocco's ambition is to attract 65 million tourists by 2037. In 2024, the North African country celebrated a major milestone, welcoming over 17.4 million tourists. Tags: Royal Air Maroc (RAM)Royal Air Maroc Best Airline in Africa
