The residency of Marianne Fahmy is part of the project travelling narratives, a regional program of art and research that aims at encouraging interactions between cultural agents in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania and Libya.

During this time of research and production at Le Cube – independent art room, Marianne Fahmy extends her research in oceanography that she has been working on for many years. Her focal subject here are narratives related to water as a new space for historical enunciations. Incessantly going back and forth between past, present and future, her work is a study of the typographical and social changes that water and the ocean impact, focusing on both archives and futuristic narratives.

As a follow up to her artist residency, a solo exhibition of the artist takes place at Le Cube – independent art room.

Travelling narratives is supported by AFAC – The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, the Goethe-Institut Marokko, the Institut Français du Maroc, the Centre Jacques Berque and the ministry of Culture and Communication in Morocco. The program is carried out in partnership with the Townhouse Gallery, مؤسسة ورق للفنون – WaraQ art foundation and the cultural space Diadie Tabara Camara.
