Chapter i: A drop from heaven - قطرة من سماء

A drop from heaven is the first 'path' part of a more extensive sonic cartography developed by QANAT in the framework of the Ateliers Collectifs of Dar Bellarj.

A drop from heaven is a performative narration and cartography led by the group of young participants presenting the researches and sonic mappings each develops as a new fictional cartography of intimacy, water and its scapes in the city of Marrakech. The work invests the territories of fiction, explores processes of memory collection and geographical imaginary, exploiting the sonic cartography of the medina as a way to both give visibility to the (young) city’s inhabitants and to lead the listener to a intime and collective sonic immersive journey.

This narrative and sonic cartographic work was led by Abdellah Hassak.

WHEN THE ARSAT CEASED TO BE AN ARSAT TO BECOME AN ARSAT ANEW
Resulting from an extensive research developed with the community of the Dar Bellarj Foundation in the medina of Marrakech, When the arsat ceased to be an arsat to become an arsat anew is an archive of voices and reflections on the silent memories, desires, and imaginaries of the city’s gardens. Riads, arsats, jnanes and agdals are different types of green spaces that used to nourish the terrains of Marrakech, both communal and edible gardens which have increasingly disappeared due to urban transformation and real estate developments.

When the arsat ceased to be an arsat to become an arsat anew was developed by Abdellah M. Hassak, Noureddine Ezarraf and Francesca Masoero with the Mamans Douées of Dar Bellarj as part of the Entangled Ecologies research line of QANAT and in the framework of the Ateliers Collectifs of Dar Bellarj.
With the participation and voices of Fatima Ennaoui, Zahra El Khiraoui, Khadija Karbah, Rachida el Idrissi Lahbali, Rachida Elguendouf, Amina Bouyabrine, Souhail Tazi, Maha el Madi, and Aba Sadki.
