Culture Vultures
It was a true pleasure to be part of Culture Vultures, where I had the opportunity to stay for a time as an artist in residence in the town of Sefrou. This time allowed me to focus on my projects and take on the new challenge of working with a loom. I was fortunate to learn from a great weaving master in town, Mustapha, who also became a dear friend. Together with Mouna, we collaborated on many wonderful things in Sefrou.

In Sefrou, I continued a textile-focused project I had started back home. Culture Vultures gave me the chance to teach weaving, which I integrated into my work. I designed a costume using wool, inspired by eye-tracking patterns centered on the human body. Using a punch needle tool, I crafted these designs, incorporating long wool threads that moved dynamically as the wearer walked. This created an animalistic texture, prompting reflection on whether we saw others as human or animal, and how we observed one another. Additionally, I learned weaving with Mustapha, whose guidance inspired future projects.
