from 05pm
In the frame of the collective exhibition Raging vigil of the 37 Festival Les Instants Vidéo (opened until 11/01/2026), presentation of the sound installation Badad by Soufiane Hennani (Morocco), a sonic journey to the heart of Morocco, told by couples who, through their love stories, reveal a complex reality, both tender and tumultuous.
Inspired by the words of Fatéma Mernissi, for whom « the feminist revolution is a bath of tenderness, » my project highlights the struggles, hopes, and resistances that shape human relationships in a country marked by its social and cultural contrasts. At a time when individual freedoms are at the center of public debate in Morocco, love becomes a space for expression, sometimes for protest. By exploring the stories of these couples, Badad questions universal themes such as intimacy, discrimination, and hope, while offering a unique perspective on contemporary Moroccan society.
05.30pm
An encounter with the artist Aya Debes (Lebanon) in two-parts. Aya will first present her book Kammouneh.
Then, she will cook a Lebanese dish featured in her book, “allowing visitors to discover the flavors that carry these stories of resilience and heritage. I hope to offer an immersive look at how food embodies cultural survival, giving voice to the stories people experience in the face of displacement.”
