October 2014 - February 2015

Cultural Center " Les Etoiles" at Sidi Moumen -Casablanca

 

Cycle of workshops, research, collective creations and interventions by contemporary artists to collectively rethink the city and its uses, and seek to reclaim urban and peri-urban spaces.

 

The Green Guerilla Movement (or Green guerilla) is driven by the desire and the will for a better community life in the city. It began in the United States in 1973 with the conversion by citizens and artists of an abandoned housing estate in Manhattan into a collective garden. In Sidi Moumen, it takes the form of workshops, research, collective creations and interventions by contemporary artists with the inhabitants of the neighborhood (making and throwing seed bombs, collective reflection on green spaces that have become landfills or parking lots, comics, design, recycling, creation of a shared garden, culinary design, mini-publications, etc..).

 

With interventions by Abderrahim Nidallha; Khalid Bastrioui, Delphine Huguet, Juliette Déjoué, Igor16382, Kaouthar Oudrhiri, Hind Oudrhiri, Mohamed Fariji, Romane Bary

Realization of an "Edible Zellige" composed of loukoums and financiers with tastes and geometric shapes telling the desires of the participants in the workshop about their city and their neighborhood. Tasting in public to invite to incorporate and digest these dreams.

Delphine Huguet (Paris-Montreal) is a leading figure in culinary design in the world. She develops a culinary world as "a sensitive escape, sometimes shocking but always delicious".

 

Culinary design associates the act of eating with other sensations; reflection, sharing, contestation, dreams, poetry or even play.
