In a statement published in the event catalog, Binebine emphasized that this cultural event, designed for all audiences and age groups, seeks to bring culture and the arts closer to both enthusiasts and those who feel distant from them.

The renowned cultural actor and visual artist noted that by coinciding with the "1-54" Contemporary African Art Fair, the Festival will gather novelists, poets, essayists, philosophers, intellectuals, and artists from across the continent and its diasporas to narrate the tales of Africa's past, present, and contemplate its future.

The establishment of FLAM by the "WE ART AFRICA//NS" association originates from a profound belief in rediscovering, revitalizing, and fortifying the unbreakable historical bonds that bind all Africans, he pointed out.

"Despite their diverse identities, languages, religions, and distant geographies, Africans and the continent's diasporas share a collective memory and history, aspiring towards a more hospitable and sustainable world for all," he stressed, underscoring that "it is these connections, memories, and aspirations that FLAM commemorates."

"Who could better express the turmoil of today's world, the uncertainties of the future, and the aspiration for improvement than writers? We invite them to do so from their own roots, right here on African soil," concluded the president and founder of the Marrakech African Book Festival.
