Programme

Come and discover the various Art Explora Festival exhibitions with your association or group! The Under the azure and Contre-Courant pavilions, as well as the virtual reality experiments, are open to the public. Reservation slots are available for visits to the museum boat.

With this performance, Ayman El Gadi invites us to share, to eat apricots together, and reminds us of the act of playing. The performance invites the audience to become involved in the creation of a whistled harmony, a unison. The audience will take away the core; a fragment of the performance.

Rooted in histories of water and ecological infrastructures, the exhibition ricochets ("this time it's personal") gives voice to tired djinns, mysterious aquatic creatures and exhausted tourist operators. It deciphers the politics of creating and redefining spaces-images-territories and the right to belong to them.

Qanat's residents and curator Francesca Masoero take over the Agora to present their latest research in a performative format that blends mythology, storytelling and contemporary art.

A unique encounter between two myths of Amazigh music and rock!

A performance-walk, a mobile exhibition, and a conversation. Departure from the Darna association towards the Art Explora Village. A presentation of the works produced in workshops during the week with the Darna association. Organic Knowledge is an art and research project that aims to create a collaborative archive of the cultural practices of underrepresented communities in Morocco through artist residencies and workshops. Organic Knowledge raises questions about the ethics and methodology to be applied when working with populations who are victims of systemic violence, and how their marginalized cultural practices can redefine dominant narratives on migration by providing a more accurate image of these populations. For the Art Explora edition, The Minority Globe presents a mobile exhibition and performances between the city and the agora, conceived during a new creative workshop in Tangier.

Exclusively, a presentation of the latest musical epic across Morocco by Vincent Moon, a pioneer of musical film.

Es-sousy invites us to meditate on the crossing and experience of wandering, which carries the artist along in constant flux towards mutual influences with those around him, contributing to his construction. The artist composes a visual allegory of these flows, blending landscape, sound, installation and performance.

A final tour of the exhibition with the artist! A time for discussion about the practice and the slow process in which Anne-Lise Broyer's photography is situated, in partnership with the French Institute of Tangier.

A conversation between artist Anne Lise Broyer and author Mohammed Bennis, moderated by Stéphanie Gaou, on the relationship between images and languages of the Mediterranean. Organized in conjunction with Anne Lise Broyer's exhibition "Was this where we lived?" at the Galerie Delacroix of the French Institute in Tangier.

The Spanish residents selected for the Art Explora cross-residency programme present a final performance after a month of research and creation. The two artists' work explores how the sounds of traditional flamenco can be integrated into contemporary urban landscapes and spaces as sites for experimentation and critical reflection. The performance will be inspired by the myth and song of the mermaid; as a transmitter of a sense of dislocation - a freshwater mermaid who has no place in a strange yet familiar landscape.

For this evening's tribute to Ahmed Bouanani, a major artistic figure and fervent defender of transmission and memory against oblivion, we'll be screening his two fiction films: "Les quatre sources", his short film in color, a dreamlike poetic essay, followed by the masterpiece and only feature film Le Mirage. Both explore the realms of folk tale and myth.

Join us in front of the stage for an improvisation workshop with dancer and choreographer Said El Haddaji.

A parade of “anti-fashion” of another kind, a collaborative, funny, joyful and subversive theatrical performance on the clothing industry, the relationship to fashion and representation manifested by the famous Catwalk.

The film trilogy "Tetuan, Tetuán, تطوان" examines the Spanish colonial past in Morocco and its impacts on Spanish society through a collaborative approach. Each part, co-developed with Moroccan and Spanish cultural partners, resignifies places such as the Plaça de Tetuan in Barcelona, the Tetuán de las Victorias district in Madrid and the Teatro Cine "Español" in Tétouan. The film screening will be followed by a discussion with researcher Aicha Trinidad Gououi, who was invited as a chronicler during the filming of the second chapter, and who will read a text combining logbook, theoretical reflections and family stories to open the debate on the creative process and the methodological and ethical positions of the two artists.
