Soukaina Abrour: Acqua e scopa fino in fondo al mare
The title refers to a phrase used in Moroccan culture to express relief when someone or something unwanted exits our lives. It is a wish that this annoyance is swept away until it reaches the bottom of the sea.
The exhibition has an intimate and personal character: an immersive installation creates a secluded space for sharing and gathering. Images, sounds, and words from a family archive take on a speculative connotation, opening a reflection on the construction of a fragmented and diasporic identity. It is precisely these fragments, layered over time and sedimented in a spatial and emotional geography, that Soukaina confronts. The construction of the self thus transcends the personal sphere to open up to its human and non-human multitudes.
