La Kocotte Artistique
La Kocotte Artistique has been designed to provide continued support to creation in Mauritius and bringing it to a wide audience by providing workshop space on preferential terms. The aim is to promote local creation in all its diversity and add real value to artistic work in Mauritius.
Following a first call for applications, the selected artists have received a rent subsidy for a renewable one-year term. They will each exhibit one of their works in a public space in Moka during the year – a must-see open-air exhibition!
La Kocotte Moka’mwad
Kocotte Moka’mwad is a welcoming learning space that hosts the headquarters of the Moka’mwad collective. This multipurpose space provides a place for citizens to meet and exchange ideas on themes they consider important – and thus shape the future of the city together.
La Kocotte Moka’mwad wishes to offer complimentary space to people that provide quality learning experiences in order to encourage social bonding among the people of Moka and bring the city to life.

Business Stories
The AMM and Made in Moris are a common body that promotes local production. It was therefore quite obvious for us to deepen our grounding by moving to Moka, which offers an exceptional setting. We have invested in a place steeped in production history, i.e. former poultry houses to remain fully consistent with and pay tribute to local producers,”
Bruno Dubarry | Chief Executive Officer, AMM
It’s important for Le Wagon to be at the core of the tech ecosystem, and remain close to players in the tech industry – especially as we regularly host public events. Moka also enjoys an ideal location in the heart of the island, with easy access to public transport. Moreover, we are in tune with the spirit of the smart city in terms of environmental awareness and innovation, among others.

We look forward to moving to Les Kocottes and become part of a community that, like TIPA, promotes art, supports education and encourages good citizenship. This will be a fantastic chance for us tenants to get together and share ideas on these subjects. The connections that we will develop will surely benefit our respective activities and inspire common learning, artistic and cultural initiatives. It’s exciting to know that we will be surrounded by highly creative artists and entrepreneurs! TIPA also wants to partake in the social development of Moka. Once we are settled, we will look into ways to support vulnerable children and parents in the region.
