Artistic Expression
There exists some poetry written in Moroccan Arabic like the Malhun. In the troubled and autocratic Morocco of the 70s (known as the years of lead), the legendary Nass El Ghiwane band wrote beautiful and allusive lyrics in Moroccan Arabic which were very appealing to the youth even in other Maghreb countries.
Another interesting movement is the development of an original rap music scene, which explores new and innovative usages of the language.
Moroccan Arabic was the language chosen for the prevalent chant deshi basara (Arabic: تيجي بسرعة) in 2012's The Dark Knight Rises, most likely due to the setting during which the chant was recited as well as exhibiting character Ra's al Ghul's Arab heritage. The chant's literal translation is "come quickly" although in the film it is translated as "rise up".

Famous quotes related to artistic expression:
“Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius ... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
