A project by The Minority Globe, curated by Maud Houssais.
This exhibition is built to the test of the unspeakable and tragic reality: the loss of Cécile Kouome, Kenza, and Simon Bedimo, artists of the Organic Knowledge program who perished in the fire at the migrants camp in Tiznit, March 2025. May their new lives reflect their most glorious dreams.
Organic Knowledge is a residency program aimed at producing images and ideas of displacement in collaboration with migrant communities. The project contemplates the oral and material cultures shaped by journeys, intending to create a living and rebellious counter-archive of a knowledge system that remains marginalized and little-known.
The orb-weaver spider is the central figure of this exhibition, embodying an organic knowledge that seeks to dissolve hierarchies among living beings. A quintessential cosmogonic trickster, the spider weaves and unweaves within the exhibition fragmented, battered stories that move against the linear current of time.
The exhibition presents the outcomes of the program's second edition, with: Khadija El Abyad - Fatima-Zahra Lakrissa, Morad Montazami - Camille Lévy Sarfati, Amina Belghiti - Faustin Linyekula, Yemoh777s, Grocco Trick54.
This project is implemented with the support of Arab Fund for Arts and Culture (AFAC) through a grant from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation - SDC, Heinrich Böll Foundation.
Faustin Lineyekula beneficiated from the support of the Arts and Humanities Division, New York University Abu Dhabi.
