During their residency at Kettle’s Yard as part of 20/20, Faramawy has been exploring the dynamics of hospitality by examining the relationship between the roles of host and guest. This event, organised by Faramawy in collaboration with Hicham Gardaf, draws inspiration from research that was undertaken in Kettle’s Yard’s archive, specifically materials that document the experiences of Jim and Helen Ede as both hosts and guests during the time they lived in Tangier, Morocco, from 1936 to 1952.
This event is named after a sequence from Abdessamad El Montassir’s (b.1989, Saidate, Morocco) 2021 video Galb’Echaouf and uses the daghour plant as both a symbol and metaphor to highlight the resilience inherent in the North African Saharawi body. Using gesture and voice, the selected films will explore the themes of connection to the land, ecology, migration, and indigeneity.
