NEW RESIDENT 
 

As the first activity of 2020 in celebration of Thami Mnyele Foundation 30-year anniversary, we have invited Bart Luirink, ZAM Magazine to collaborate with us in the selection of an artist resident whose work will be focused on the life of Thami Mnyele himself. 
 

We are so happy to have our new resident Adam Belarouchia (b. 1993 Rabat Marokko) to work on this subject during his residency from 15 January till 15 March.


In 2018 Belarouchia was also a resident of the Thami Mnyele Foundation. He is familiar with the city Amsterdam and finished a mural and did a workshop with the Zina Salon. 

 

He also produced a city specific work with the dutch artists Marjet Zwaans and left stickers in the city what forms a map of a mark. 



Belarouchia is a graduate of the national institute of fine arts in Tetouan. Adam chases after ideas, in concern with the Moroccan urban and subcultures, and expresses them with different mediums, mainly digital ones. He started off creating animated GIFs and illustrations, he then created an animation called "Ana hna" ( I am here ) which won him the short animated movie prize "Grand Prix Aicha" FICAM, Meknes, and a one-month international animation residency in « L'abbaye de Fontevraud », France.

He went on with another project and put his one year at the University of Science of Rabat to good use, and merged between his love of science and art which resulted into the exposition "ch3l dow" (Light up) that took place at the cultural centre of Ain Sbaa « L’Uzine », Casablanca. he is now working on his first comic book called «A9oul asmaa» which treat the oppression in the Moroccan primary school. He also appeared on: « Skefkef 8 » Fanzine Rabat, « Halal » Fanzine Paris,« Live Room Urban art expo »’s Collective exhibition, Tangier. « Cervantes » Student Collective exhibition, Tetouan.

The artists in Positions #5 work with different forms of storytelling, witnessing and giving testimony. They do this in relation to forgotten, marginalised or silenced histories. These stories span nineteenth-century novels in Argentina, voices from the rivers of Cameroon or the 1969 uprisings in Curaçao. They range from deeply personal accounts to classified state documents.

This exhibition will be on show until 8th March 2020.
