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.
ricochets (this time it's personal) - Exhibition tour - QANAT collective
Discover the exhibition exploring new and ancient mythologies of water with guest artists Youmein and QANAT. Rooted in water histories and ecological infrastructures, the work gives voice to tired djinns, mysterious aquatic creatures and exhausted tourist operators. It deciphers the politics of creating and redefining image-spaces and the right to belong to them. Like Atlas condemned to carry the weight of the world, the installation questions who defines and supports the histories and imaginaries of our contemporaries.

www (Programmed by Youmein Festival)
"www (world war water)" is a durational performance and installation. It is a mise-en-situation of the worst of scenarios: with the last remaining cup, how is power negotiated, resources indulged and rationed, alliances formed and broken? Featuring Aïda Jamal and Imane Elkabli, with scenographic direction by Lori Kharpoutlian, this performance was initially conceived of and produced within the frame of the 2024 edition of the Youmein Festival under the theme of Steadfastness/Sumud with support from A.MAL Projects and the American Language Center - Tangier
