The artistic research
During this residency the artists will research the intersection of their practices as North African diaspora, exploring various moods of celebration and adapting it to the contemporary frame of their individual practices; working on storytelling both in performance and in scenography.
They will celebrate their culture, and expand the possibilities of their representation, creating a visually stimulating installation which sets the scene for a powerful and intimate storytelling. They immerse themselves in an examination and a creation of collective understandings and new meanings that are valuable to the artistic work in their community.
Their shared intention is to discover new ways to communicate the essence of celebration - its fluidity, its contrasts, and its capacity to unite. They aim to learn from each other’s distinct methodologies and find innovative intersections between sound, light, poetry and movement.
the artists
Leïla, Mia and Siham collaboration stems from a shared desire to explore themes of universality and individuality through celebration.
This group of artists have been invited into residency through the open call IN PROCESS - CELEBRATION, which focuses on giving space to a visual and performative exploration of what celebration can be.
The open call was curated in collaboration with artist and scenographer Julian Juhlin.
