Inauguration of Mahatta - Participatory installation by Mouhawalat Collective
Mouhawalat Collective (Diyae Bourhim & Ahmad Karmouni), will welcome to Mahatta a selection of art students recently graduated from the INBA, to invest and activate the hybrid space of their installation through a series of in situ interventions that vary from day to day for the duration of the Festival. A wider circle, an invitation to explore the imaginaries and narratives that shape our collective understanding of the art world. This proposal questions the practical realities and struggles inherent in the creative process, exploring the expectations and realities of young artists in transition between the academy and the professional world.

As'tta, Bahija Sajid (Invited by Mouhawalat Collective) - Mahatta
Bahija Sajid uses a monologue that blends plastic poetry and lyrical prose to reclaim her gesture of transmission. The performance combines hand-weaving and singing, exploring the transmission of stories and craft skills.
Sffara, Ayman El Gadi (Invited by Mouhawalat Collective)
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.
"D'un Port à L'autre" Youssef Es-ssousy (invited by Mouhawalat Collective)
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.
"Home Forever" by Aymane Ait Yahya (Invited by Mouhawalat Collective)
In the act of creating and recreating his living spaces, Aymane Ait Yahya offers a performative meditation on the transitory nature of home, identity and the impact of our experiences on our sense of place and belonging.

Mahatta is a participatory installation that acts as a station for sharing and exchange. This station grows and shifts; its components multiply with each encounter. Like a plant that spreads throughout its environment, the installation is an archive in progress, recalling and listening to collective voices and shared opinions, questions, concerns, reflections, doubts, feelings, stories of attempts, perspectives, solidarity and common ground.
For the Art Explora festival, Mouhawalat Collective (Diyae Bourhim & Ahmad Karmouni), will welcome a selection of recently graduated INBA art students to Mahatta, to invest and activate Mahatta's hybrid space through a series of in situ interventions that vary from day to day for the duration of the Festival.
A wider circle, an invitation to explore the imaginaries and narratives that shape our collective understanding of the art world. This proposal interrogates the practical realities and struggles inherent in the creative process, exploring the expectations and realities of young artists in transition between the academy and the professional world. Each graduate contributes to transforming Mahatta (the station) on a daily basis, making this space an ever-changing landscape. Mahatta thus becomes a station where each passenger leaves his or her mark, enriching the space with their individual and collective stories. Every day, the installation reinvents itself, capturing the diverse voices of the participants.

Mouhawalat (pl.tentative) is an artistic collective co-founded in 2020 by four young artists who graduated from the Beaux-arts in Tétouan (Morocco), and now has two members: Diyae Bourhim and Ahmad Karmouni. Through discursive, editorial and artistic projects, the collective seeks alternative paths for learning and circulation processes to encourage transmission. Its projects act to connect mutual care and life experiences between art workers, through the organization of workshops, collective and collaborative exhibitions, discussions and artist interviews.
Diyae Bourhim
Diyae Bourhim is a visual artist whose practice encompasses photography, installation and embroidery. She lives and works between Morocco and France. Her work focuses on different translations of the archive, family, intimacy, hospitality and gestures of invitation. Her projects often aim to reflect the histories and geographies of her region, depicting tales of arrivals and departures. Drawing on a collection of memoirs, Diyae learns to deploy the method of archival research to highlight the importance of oral histories and vernacular practices in understanding what it means to archive.
Ahmad Karmouni
Ahmad Karmouni is a visual artist born in Assilah in 1994. He lives and works between France and Morocco. His work manifests the desire to create an analogy between raw matter and the field of the sensitive and immaterial, in order to discover new plastic possibilities linked to ephemeral emotion. The artist sees himself as part of a scientific process, exploring the improbability of matter and its various reactions and transformations over time. His field of experimentation spans several media, including installation, drawing and printing techniques.
