00:00Welcome to Mediïn TV, art in this chronicle to talk about Hanan El Farisi, a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Morocco and who lives and works between Brussels and Rabat.
00:20The artist works on the problems related to the memory and the construction of the individual by placing the body, the image of the body and the object at the center of this practice.
00:30Hanan El Farisi leads us to question our identities and our stories included in societies that are always evaluating, starting with the intimate and continuing towards the universal.
00:41She graduated in 2013 from the National Institute of Fine Arts in Tétouan before pursuing her studies in Belgium.
00:48She is currently exhibiting at the Galerie Mohamed Rissi in Tangier as part of the Festival Musum Belgica.
00:55Mediïn TV met her, I suggest you listen to her.
01:00I am very happy and with a lot of emotion today to come back to Morocco to exhibit my work and share with the Moroccan public what I do.
01:11I started very early, I had my first exhibition when I was 18 years old.
01:15I did my studies at Les Orangers in Rabat in art and then I came here to the Galerie Mohamed Rissi with artistic workshops.
01:24Then I went to the École des Beaux-Arts in Tétouan and then I followed a master's degree in contemporary sculpture in Brussels at the Cambres and then a pre-doctorate in art in Flanders at HISC.
01:39It was an experience, a journey that started in my early childhood and continues to this day.
01:49Hanane's sculptural work takes place here.
01:52Her installations, performances and drawings are based on everyday objects and gestures, often domestic, attributed to women.
01:59The construction of the individual, what defines him and the memory, builds the centre of her artistic approach through multiple mediums.
02:08She scrutinises the chains of stereotypes and representations.
02:11The artist also searches for trivial or anecdotal facts to question the values that govern the functioning of the other taste and our contemporary spirit.
02:21Let's listen to Hanane Farissi again.
02:24I am a multidisciplinary artist, so I always start with the drawing.
02:28It goes from 2D to 3D.
02:32I start with the drawing, the sculpture, I manipulate objects, I make installations in the space on which we can turn,
02:42we can take our trace in space to understand objects and shapes, but I also do performance,
02:51which is a derivative of an old experience of theatre and dance.
02:58In my practice, I am interested in everything that is related to the complexity of memory, everyday life, violence,
03:06and I try to deal with this violence that we live in everyday life or that comes from afar in the history of life of each human being,
03:15whether it is in the four corners of the world.
03:17So I try to deal with it with a lot of poetry, with subtlety, without being in the violence itself.
03:25Inspired by the most ordinary details that surround us, Hanane Farissi extracts evidence of human violence.
03:31This research based on everyday life, but also influenced by the history of art, aims to reveal our identity and our past.
03:39It is done by deforming existing objects, giving birth to hybrid works with multiple meanings.
03:46Thus, these creations convey a contemporary and historical story, but also an ambiguity.
03:52This ambivalence in the work of Hanane Farissi highlights the contradictions in order to help us reflect on our societies.
04:01Let's listen one last time to Hanane Farissi.
04:03Since my tender childhood, I was in music, dance, theatre, and the arts.
04:09I need to communicate in several languages.
04:13For me, it's like keys to a piano.
04:15I need several keys to express myself, to express what I have to say.
04:20Because sometimes it can come out through drawing,
04:23another time it can be the performance that gives me the strength of the present moment in which I want to transmit something to the public.
04:31So for me, it is necessary, it is a necessity.
04:35And finally, music.
04:37The Palestinian flutist and composer Ney Barouti is on the stage of Colors
04:45to deliver a raw interpretation of her song Li Feyrouz,
04:51a tribute to the legendary Lebanese singer Feyrouz,
04:55and to her 1984 song Li Beirut, dedicated to the city during the civil war.
05:01Let's listen to an excerpt.
