sakhra by Carlos Perez Marin

In January 2018, I paid a visit to my friend Abdeljalil Saouli for the first time in his hometown, Moulay Bouchta (Taounate, Morocco). Since then, I came back several times to discover and study its architecture and heritage coinciding with other researchers with whom we decided to organise an event in which artists and researches could realise the opportunities a place like Moulay Bouchta could offer to contemporary creation and to test other ways to develop from educational and cultural point of view rural societies in Morocco. This is my own story with Sakhra (not an official Sakhra website) a cultural event we have organised (for now) in 2019 and 2025 with my friends Abdeljalil Saouli, Gilles Aubry and Fatima-Zahra Lakrissa.

En janvier 2018, j'ai rendu visite à mon ami Abdeljalil Saouli pour la première fois dans sa ville natale, Moulay Bouchta (Taounate, Maroc). Depuis, j'y suis retourné à plusieurs reprises pour découvrir et étudier son architecture et son patrimoine. En coïncidant avec d'autres chercheurs, nous avons décidé d'organiser un événement où artistes et chercheurs pourraient prendre conscience des opportunités qu'un lieu comme Moulay Bouchta pouvait offrir à la création contemporaine et explorer d'autres pistes de développement éducatif et culturel pour les sociétés rurales du Maroc. Voici mon histoire avec Sakhra (mais ce n’est pas le site officiel de Sakhra). An événement culturel que nous avons organisé en 2019 et 2025 (pour l’instant) avec mes amis Abdeljalil Saouli, Gilles Aubry et Fatima-Zahra Lakrissa.

Fez-Merzouga ETSAM by Carlos Perez Marin

Trip with the students of the architecture school of Madrid (ETSAM) and their teacher Marta Maiz.

We had the opportunity of visiting the city of Fez, the archeological site of Volubilis, the dunes of Merzouga and the ksar of Mezguita (Rissani).

During our stay in Merzouga the students had also the opportunity to collaborate with Spanish artist, Ruben Martin de Lucas (www.martindelucas.com) on his research "burocracia".

We would like to thank Ahmed Laaroussi, head of the architecture school of Fez (Université Privée de Fès) for letting us discover the medina (with Mr Benkirane).
