Writing with mittens: writing workshop on and around, for, with, under and alongside art
Theme of the day proposed by Elena Lespes Muñoz: Ekphrasis, baby!
Despite its codification from ancient rhetoric and its golden age in the 19th century, the description has never ceased to arouse reticence... Sometimes suspected of harming literature, what have we against it? Boring, anti-poetic, arbitrary, lengthy, the description puts you to sleep but not only!
Saturday 3 June, from 2.30 to 4.30 pm
Taref Lazrag
Weaving workshop, intergenerational
Inspired by the various desert landscapes in the exhibition - from rolling sand dunes to deserts of rocks and pebbles as far as the eye can see - take your turn to dress a horizon line. Assemble your own wool threads, cotton browns and other cords, play with textures, shapes and colours to create a weaving of sky, earth, dunes and other desert mirages.
Friday June 9, from 3pm to 6pm

Cyanotype family workshop, from 6 years old
Inspired by the plants of the Sahara collected by Abdessamad El Montassir, we will search for plants, those that resist the invasion of concrete and the city in our immediate environment. After a stroll through the streets near the art centre, and in the manner of the botanist Anna Atkins, we will create the very first herbarium of the neighbourhood using her photographic print technique: the cyanotype.

Sound creation workshop, pre-teens and teens
A few snatches of conversations from passers - by, the wind blowing through the trees in the park, vehicles honking their horns or speeding on the road... What clues do these sounds give us about the landscape around us? Just like Abdessamad El Montassir in the middle of the desert, let’s close our eyes, put our ears to the ground and collect all these noises, whistles and
other whispers that cross our daily lives to imagine a sound composition all together.

Conference by Daniela Merolla, professor of Berber literature and art at the Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco)
