Conversation with SOUMEYA AIT AHMED, NADIR BOUHMOUCH and IMANE ZOUBAI
Can the oral be translated into the visual? How can we challenge Eurocentric visual practices through indigenous oral culture (poetry, work songs, folktales, etc.)?
Based on their collective research on both ancestral and contemporary oral art forms in Moroccan rural communities, a visual artist, a filmmaker and a cultural worker try to answer these amongst other questions around the challenges, prospects and implications of visualising the oral.
