Join us next Monday at #Townhouse for a talk in English with Elisabeth Piskernik, founder and director, and Gabrielle Camuset, research project and exhibition manager, will present Le Cube – independent art room and several developed projects, in particular the regional research and residence project \travelling narratives\.

Le Cube – independent art room
is a space of exhibition, residence and research that is centered on contemporary artistic practices. Its approach revolves around projects that raise social, cultural and political questions, and proposals that question History and narratives. With this dynamic, Le Cube designs and develops a vast program of exhibitions that link artistic issues to other dimensions of research, in order to carry out a constantly evolving reflection on our environment. A place for analysis and experimentation, Le Cube adopts and supports an approach that allows the artists and audiences to express their reflections and views.

//Travelling narratives//
is a regional art and research program that aims to encourage interactions between cultural actors in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania and Libya. Through cycles of residencies, exhibitions, screenings, meetings, workshops and conferences, this project aims to cross and connect the micro-stories of North Africa in order to deploy endogenous stories of these territories and to imagine collectively new social and cultural utopias from these alternative narratives. is supported by AFAC - The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, the Goethe-Institut Rabat and the Ministry of Culture of Morocco, and realized in collaboration with Townhouse Gallery in Cairo, Les Ateliers Sauvages in Algier, WaraQ art foundation in Tripoli and the Diadie Tabara Camara Cultural Space in Nouakchott.
