IN THE EYES OF: JUAN GALLEGO BENOT AND CARMEN YRUELA BAENA - EP.5

Art Explora
Tangier

Discover Juan Gallego Benot and Carmen Yruela Baena in this 5th episode of our "In The Eyes Of" series, as they explore the links between poetry, music and memory in Tangier.

Juan Gallego Benot is a poet and researcher. His academic reflection focuses on rhetoric and modernity, questioning forms of narrative and their impact on our perception of the world. In Tangier, he questions migration dynamics and identity tensions through poetry, a medium in which language becomes a space for resonance and confrontation.

Flamenco singer Carmen Yruela Baena brings Juan's writings to life. Her interpretation breathes new life into the texts, infusing them with the vibrant intonations of flamenco, an art with mixed roots. Together, they weave a dialogue where poetry mingles with sound, where the voice becomes an instrument of memory.

Both originally from Andalusia, the history of flamenco is revealed in the course of their research as a prism through which they observe colonial legacies and migratory trajectories between Spain and Morocco. Rhythms and melodies bear traces of shifting identities, crossed borders and shared narratives.

A work that invites us to rethink cultural identity as a polyphonic echo in constant reinvention.

IN THE EYES OF: BACHIR TAYACHI - EP.3

Art Explora
Marseille

Dive into the unique perspective of Tunisian artist Bachir Tayachi in this third episode of “In the Eyes Of,” where we follow his journey during an artist residency in Marseille.

Born in 1995, Bachir Tayachi lives and works in Tunis. Through his preferred mediums of photography, video, and drawing, he develops an artistic practice rooted in capturing raw emotions, while questioning the complexity of identity.

As part of the Art Explora festival’s crossed residencies programme, Bachir Tayachi spent a month in Marseille, where the culture, the Mediterranean sea, and the diversity of stories shaped his project.

In Marseille, his project explores identity and the relationship with the body, through multiple and contrasting experiences. Here, he has been working on his first soloshow, In My Room, which runs from October 12 to November 5 at JAOU, Biennale de Tunis.

IN THE EYES OF: RENATA POLJAK - EP. 2

Art Explora
Venice
Discover the second episode of "Through the Eyes Of", featuring Croatian artist Renata Poljak. Known for her use of diverse media such as photography, installation, film and video, Poljak creates works rich in metaphor, exploring contemporary political, economic and social issues. His videos and installations fuse documentary techniques with fictional narrative to address migration, both historical and current. As part of the programme residency program at the Art Explora festival, Renata Poljak developed Songs for the Sea, a project that explores the interplay between philosophy, science, utopia and mythology linked to the sea. The work also addresses ecological challenges through video installation and performance, highlighting the role of song in Mediterranean myths. By examining marine life, such as plankton, her work poetically navigates from the microscopic to the vast. Artist: Renata Poljak Produced by: Art Explora Location: Zagreb
