The banner for the 26th Essaouira Gnaoua & World Music Festival (June 19–21, 2025) features modernist artwork of a stylized Gnawa musician against a warm desert-sunset backdrop. The design integrates traditional Moroccan motifs—like arches and geometric patterns—with vivid blocks of color. A small boat on the ocean and a seagull perched beside the musician. Text elements clearly highlight the event's name, location, and dates in a mix of blue and red.
