Reading group
Maimún se ha ido con Franco ahora que el naranjo está en flor
(Maimun has gone with Franco now that the orange tree is in blossom)
Matadero Madrid, Casa Árabe and other spaces
25.04, 3.05, 17.05, 27.05
The reading group “Maimún se ha ido con Franco ahora que el naranjo está en flor”* proposes a journey through the novel Cuando los montes caminen by Youssef El Maimouni (Roca Editorial, 2021), which tells for the first time episodes of the Civil War from the perspective of a young Moroccan enlisted in the Nationalist faction, accompanied by Laura Casielles (poet and journalist), Ibrahim Ibnou Goush (actor), Marta Echaves (researcher and writer) and Youssef El Maimouni himself (author and social educator). Throughout four sessions, each guest will contribute to interpret the story through the prism of their field of expertise, proposing at the same time reading dynamics, lines of flight and other contents that will help to place the book in a broader historical and political context. We will address among other issues the place from where we read, the genealogy of the racist imaginary about the " Moorish invader" and its current social repercussions, the potentialities of historical fiction, the ghosts of Spanish identity as well as other silenced colonial events such as the Rif War."
*Excerpt from “Canción del naranjo en flor” (Moroccan folk song) quoted in the novel.
The reading group, developed in collaboration with Casa Árabe, will have a nomadic character, situating the text and the voices that read it in spaces of different historical and cultural resonances. The activity is framed within the development of the second chapter of the film "Tetuan, Tetuán, Titwan" dedicated to Madrid, as part of my residency at Matadero from January to July 2022.
Laura Casielles. In her PhD she has researched the Spanish colonial memory through the work of Moroccan and Saharawi authors writing in Spanish. In a similar field, she has published Los cantos inolvidables. Souffles: a Moroccan magazine of poetry and politics between colonialism and the years of lead (2018); she has collaborated to the documentary Provincia 53. Memorias cruzadas del Sáhara Occidental; and she has translated from French the anthology of the Moroccan poet Abdellatif Laâbi Desde la otra orilla (2017). She currently co-coordinates the culture section of the magazine La Marea.
Ibrahim Ibnou Goush. Son of Berber immigrants, migrated to Tangier and from Tangier to Madrid. Graduated in performing arts at the Cuarta Pared. His career has led him to meet great directors such as Brian de Palma, Laila Ripoll or Gerardo Olivares, and to participate in some series on Arab topics. He is currently involved with the company Micomicón, whose productions always have to do with historical memory. His latest production, "Rif (de piojos y gas mostaza)" (2021), deals with the Annual Disaster (1921), the use of chemical weapons in the Rif and its consequences in the 20th century.
Marta Echaves. Interested in the intersection between research, writing and artistic practice, her projects aim to revisit images and metaphors associated with specific epochal contexts, focusing on intimate experiences and anecdotes, as detonators of poetic devices of memory, as well as the violence and losses that cross this type of archives and the need for practices and rituals of restitution and collective mourning.
Youssef El Maimouni is the director of an educational center for young people in Barcelona where he promotes the values of non-formal education and makes the new generations aware of their transcultural character. He is the author of Cuando los montes caminen, the first novel of the civil war from the point of view of a Moroccan, and which begins the Trilogy of discrimination, with which he intends to address part of the invisible conflicts of the delicate relations between Spain and Morocco.

The film trilogy "Tetuan, Tetuán, Tetwan" deals with the traces that the colonial past in Morocco has left in Spanish society through an experimental collaborative methodology. It examines cultural production, public space and the collective imaginary through the prism of the ghost, understood as an echo of silenced voices and historical facts. Developed with Moroccan and Spanish cultural agents, the project explores narrative strategies to resignify places such as the Plaça Tetuan in Barcelona, the neighborhood of Tetuán de las Victorias in Madrid or the cinema “Español” in the proper city of Tetwan, Morroco.
The first chapter (Barcelona) focuses on the implication of representation in power relations and the continuity of orientalist and colonial iconography, giving thus rise to a critical reflection on the distribution of the roles and the mechanisms of the film itself. Punctuated by readings, conversations and fictional scenes at the foot of monuments, in cafés and a museum, it upholds the idea that orality can offer resistance to hegemonic discourses and favor the emergence of other imaginaries.

Los papeles (apuntes para una película)
The Green Parrot, Barcelona
15.07–24.09.2021
For the past two years, Adrian Schindler has been examining the traces that the colonial past in Morocco has left in Spanish society, as much in cultural production and public space as in the collective imaginary. He is currently developing a film with a group of actors/actresses, researchers and activists, where he addresses the implication of representation in power relations, while giving rise to a critical reflection on the filmic mechanisms themselves. Shortly after the shooting of the first chapter in Barcelona, and in parallel to the editing, he reflects for The Green Parrot on the distribution of the roles and the collaborative methodology employed during the production, as well as on the encounters and exchanges that contributed to its development (among others a performance, a round table and a reading group).
With the words of Salma Amzian, Ali el Aziz, Abdel Aziz El Mountassir, Helios Fernández Garcés, Nancy Garin, Daniel Gasol, Itzea Goikolea-Amiano, Joana Hurtado Matheu, Núria Gómez Gabriel, Anna Manubens, Violeta Mayoral, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Lucia Piedra Galarraga, Reinaldo Ribeiro, iki yos piña narváes funes and photographs by Heidi Ramírez.

Moving Strata with the Tongue
Pradiauto, Madrid
10.06–22.06
Pradiauto hosts the first FOCUS session of the Institute for Postnatural Studies that focuses on the artistic practice of Eulàlia Rovira and Adrian Schindler.
The works gathered in this exhibition allude to the human desire to influence nature and exploit its resources, focusing on minor cases such as a fruit discarded by global consumption, the control and spillage of fluids in a post-industrial city or the extraction of proto-oil by throwing rocks into the fire.
Their collaborative practice is structured by writing and involves exercises of displacement for both the eye that looks and the voice that narrates. Moving between subsoil and surface, they pass through gases, bones, chemicals, divinities, technologies and plants, in an attempt to subvert the centrality of the subject.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a performance, a screening and a talk.

Reading group
A quienes la inspiraron y no la leerán: Goytisolo, Marruecos y el Otro
(To those who inspired it and will not read it: Goytisolo, Morocco and the Other)
MACBA, Barcelona
7, 14, 21 and 28 of April, 6-8pm
The reading group A quienes la inspiraron y no la leerán* proposes a critical approach to the theoretical and fictional work of Juan Goytisolo, influenced by Morocco. Contrasting his ambition to deconstruct the islamophobic literary tradition with the fantasies that inhabit his novels, we will address issues such as the construction of the image of the Other in Spain, the ghosts of the colonial project and the tensions inherent to decolonial works developed by white cultural agents. We will read excerpts from the novels Reivindicación del conde Don Julián (1970), Juan sin tierra (1975) and Makbara (1980), as well as from the essay collection Crónicas Sarracinas (1981). The sessions will be carried out with Salma Amzian, Núria Gómez Gabriel and iki yos piña narváez funes, who will contribute to examine Goytisolo's contradictions and potentialities through other literatures and epistemologies.
The meetings will take place in the Parc de la Ciutadella, near a colonial monument and an orientalist sculpture.
*Dedication from Makbara.
Registration on the museum website
Salma Amzian researches and writes from a decolonial perspective on the imbrication of race, class and gender. She also focuses on the migration of experiences of oppression and resistance of racialized communities in Spain. She has a degree in History and Social Anthropology (UAB), and is pursuing a PhD in Migration Studies (UGR).
Núria Gómez Gabriel is a researcher in the field of contemporary visual culture. Her practice crosses critical pedagogies, writing and curatorship. She holds a PhD in communication with the thesis Espectropolíticas. Imagen y hauntología en las prácticas artísticas contemporáneas, by the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona (2021).
iki yos piña narváez funes: Afrocaribeñx, performer, essayist and drawer. They investigate, from their own bodies, issues related to Caribbean negritudes, radical black thought, decoloniality and black time. They are part of the collective Ayllu.

By drawing on a collection of illustrated historical documents, the meeting will examine the orientalist and colonial imaginary that Spain has forged about "the Moroccan other" in the last century and a half and the forms, visible and invisible, under which it survives nowadays. On the basis of the works of Wendelien van Oldenborgh and the performance "Specters of Morocco" (2020) by Adrian Schindler, the group will reflect with a plurality of perspectives on the potential and contradictions of allied artistic practices that are attentive to the different positions of enunciation and the mechanisms of power inherent to representation.
Activity organized in the frame of Wendelien van Oldenborgh's exhibition tone tongue mouth at Fabra i Coats Centre d'art contemporani de Barcelona, curated by Anna Manubens. Running until January 17th. More infos

Nothing Compares
Meetings Pro LOOP Barcelona
19.11 — 10:30–12am
Taking part in the debate "Capturing device. Avoiding the practical reproduction of what one tries to denounce" moderated by Anna Manubens within the framework of LOOP Studies 2020. With Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Juan Canela, Nancy Garín, Carles Guerra and Amelie Mckee & Melle Nieling.
“Capturing device” is at once the technical definition of a camera but also its potential ethical consideration if used in a way that replicates the violence it intends to portray. Using as a backdrop the exhibition tono lengua boca, first retrospective of Wendelien van Oldenborgh that is currently on view at Fabra i Coats in Barcelona, the conversation intends to explore ways in which a form of coherence exists between the subject matter of a film and the way in which its production is handled. More particularly it focuses on how to look at forms of colonial exploitation while self-critically seeking not to reproduce the very forms of power that are supposedly denounced. This exploration will also be the occasion to inquire about a genealogy of filmmaking in relation to postcolonial studies in the Spanish context or rather about the scarce examples of such genealogy and the reasons for such an absence. More generally this encounter and the geopolitical context in which it takes place will be an occasion to share hopeful examples of coherence between concept and practice from which to pull political inspiration in grey times.

Residency
Château Nour, Brussels
06.07–03.08
In July 2020, I will be in residence at Château Nour to work on the project "Occupez ces mains rebelles!" [Keep these rebel hands busy!], a new chapter of my research on the socio-cultural impacts in Europe of the colonial past in Morocco. Starting from the coincidence that the social housing complex of the Square Albert 1er (where the residency is located) was inaugurated the same year as the Rif revolt (1958), I will focus on the history of the Rif diaspora in the Cureghem district. I will initiate exchanges with neighbors and cultural actors around the links between colonialism, economic growth in Northern European countries, urbanism and the repression of popular uprisings.
Invited by Clovis XV, with the support of the Goethe-Institut Brussels, as part of the program Perruche.

Performance by Eulàlia Rovira and Adrian Schindler
Saturday July 21, 12:00 pm
The mass of water progresses in a block and flows strongly between the pillars. The distance between them is of five meters, but the opening does not seem to be sufficient to channel the current. The speed of the water increases. The materials it transports pile up against the pillars. No leakage, only opposition and resistance.
With the performance Aggregates, Chlorine, Teeth, Thermoplastics we end a journey of several weeks that has taken us from the last floor of an underground parking lot to the corridors of a paleontological reserve, through the slopes of a mountain and dog paths where flowers grow in the mud. This Saturday, like an accelerated car about to crash, the collected elements will collide in the room.
As part of the exhibition Imaginació Material, an ongoing process between curator Caterina Almirall, Eulàlia Rovira and Adrian Schindler that involves collaborative writing, walks and the making of wild flowers bouquets.

SUPERDEALS, Brussels
Saturday June 23 — 7 pm / 8 pm
Reading of a new text written in response to the various meetings that took place during three weeks at Superdeals around the photographs taken by my great-grandfather during World War II.
SUPERDEALS
4 Chaussée de Waterloo, 1060 Brussels
------------------------------------
Residency
From June 4th to 26th, I will be in residence at Superdeals (Brussels) with the collection of photographs taken by my great-grandfather during World War II, which includes more than three hundred snapshots. I have studied these images for many years and have often written about them, but I have written little about my relationship with them and even less about how others look at them. During these three weeks, I will receive at the gallery on an individual basis those who would like to consult these photographs and, if they wish, discuss them with me. These meetings will voluntarily not be documented, but will feed in a diffuse way a writing work of which a first draft will be presented at the end of the residency. This project consists both in exposing a family archive to the interpretations, desires and questions of others, in setting up a space of trust where contradictory feelings can coexist in response to this type of historical documents, and in thinking about the possibility of writing in first person while carrying a multitude of voices. It is the first time that this collection will be presented in its entirety.

The gaze spins around. The voice (with a certain foreign accent): Acknowledge the porosity of the plinth. The gaze moves slowly down to the horseshoes. The other voice: The name of the donor, the face of a saint, a naked citizen.
The gaze bounces frenetically from one fragment to another.

Cette année les commémorations n'auront pas lieu
This Year The Commemorations Won't Take Place
11.03.16 and 12.03.16 – 7pm
Le Centquatre-Paris
A project by Adrian Schindler, Eulàlia Rovira and Romain Trinquand, produced in residency at Le Centquatre (2014-2016)
Presented as part of the exhibition Matérialité de l'invisible.
On stage nothing is fixed, not even the stones. In this ever-changing space, two protagonists evolve with doubtful memory-keepers outfits and a commun desire for running away and changing identity. But how would you escape your destiny when it is cast in stone? Slowly, tiny epics - from a rest area parking lot to wild animals tracks - take over History. Rather than making a judgement on memorial questions, the performance This Year The Commemorations Won't Take Place sneaks into a crack, inviting us to take other paths in the shadow of high steles.
