A Moroccan Art Exhibit

Today I went to a Moroccan Art Exhibit that had been organized with the help of the Italian Consulate to show the art of North Africans who had gone to Italy. What struck me the most was that all of the information was in Italian and French, but that there was no Arabic. The paintings themselves either had no signature, a Latin signature, or both an Arabic and Latin signature, never one by itself. It seems that somehow, art has been taken over by the West even though the whole point of the exhibition was to give expression to the feelings of intolerance, etc. felt by North Africans in Italy. Most of the art was very much like any modern art that you would find... the only one that struck me as really Arab was an artist that plays with the idea of Arabic calligraphy. Of course the themes throughout the paintings were that of what is the Arab city vs. the Mediterranean city etc. You could see art that resembled Picasso and others that were more minimalist or even a impressionist looking still life.
It got me thinking... do more Moroccans know how to read Fus'ha or French? Is the exhibit elitist to only have the descriptions in French or does any one who is literate able to read French? This question of language still bothers me. I wish I knew enough to know which dialects were being used on TV at all times...
