Mobile Lab Morocco
Public space is where everyone’s desires, thoughts, and futures are implicated. It’s a space of creation and confrontation, of engagement and ceaseless multicultural exchange.
Our first Mobile Lab in 2023 took us to Morocco, in the cities of Rabat, Benslimane and Casablanca, where visual artist and 2022 Impact Awardee, Hassan Darsi, co-curated days of public events, cultural trips, and an exhibition together with the Prince Claus Fund. Joining us were 2021 Seed Awardees Sana Chamakh and Mehdi Ouahmane, 2022 Seed Awardees Khtek, Sofiane Byari and Sofiane Bakouri, and 2021 Mentorship Awardee Youssef El Indrissi, all of whom were participants in the Lab week.
The Lab addressed the urgency of critically assessing public space and citizenship, while celebrating the 25th anniversary since the foundation of the cultural laboratory La Source du Lion.
The Mobile Lab in Morocco was co-organised with the Centre for Cross Cultural Learning, HEM Research Center, Arab Council for the Social Sciences, and L'Institut Supérieur de l’Information et de la Communication.
