Its publications are an essential part of its artistic and cultural commitment. KULTE has collections that are specifically devoted to aesthetics, gender, and cinema, as well as a special one that is devoted to the writer and film director Ahmed Bouanani. It is currently recognised as one of North Africa’s most active publishing houses.
