Madrassa Collective

Descripción del Profesional del arte

Envisioning exhibition making as a research and critical endeavour, Madrassa Collective aims at experimenting and investigating collective practices and transborder collaborations as a means to resist and confront the difficulties of art making in the regions the collective comes from. Madrassa Collective works on a variety of geographical and conceptual territories through exhibitions, publications, researches and mapping exercises. Through its projects, the collective aims to: - alter the dominant "Western-centrism” in modern and contemporary art thinking and writing, investigating and promoting the conditions for the birth and for the development of collective and independent artistic projects; - rethink socially engaged practices in art, by focusing particularly on processes of institution building and their normative configurations, and as an experimental curatorial body itself testing the very processes of collective making and the making of a collective. Members of Madrassa are Nadine Atallah, Nouha Ben Yebdri, Victoria Dabdoub, Francesca Masoero, Aude Christel Mgba, Rim Mejdi, Léa Morin and Marc Mouarkech.
