What it means to have a museum in Gaza
WORKSHOP with the children from Gaza
The workshop comes within the framework of cooperation between Association La Sierra Prod and Art Explora and HAWAF group within the framework of my residency in the City of Arts through the artistic grant from Art Explora.
At the beginning I conducted an acquaintance workshop with children, in which the children got to know Gaza city and the reason for my residency (SAHAB Museum -The imaginary of Gaza), the children drew their imagination about the museum.
In the second workshop was in the City of Arts on Montmartre, where the children conducted a joint workshop via video online with children from Gaza, in which they got to know each other, and asked different questions to each other, then I asked the children to imagine Paris without museums and trying to build it from the surrounding natural tools, the result was amazing.
In the third meeting, children went to the Museum of the Bourse de Commerce and filmed the artworks, as trainers we filmed their emotions and interaction with the artworks.
In the last meeting, we conducted a workshop to produce artworks with children for the museum, in partnership with Andres Burbano. The works were photographed in VR digital technic, then uploaded to the application BavAR[t] in cooperation between Hawaf Group and the application’s team.
The experience was more than wonderful.

An encounter between artists and researchers "Gaza’s Museum of Futures. Futurisms and alternative museologies", Wednesday June 1, 2022, Mucem (MucemLab), Marseille.
During their residence at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, HAWAF collective (Mohamed Bourouissa, Salman Nawati, Mohamed Abusal and Sondos Al-Nakhala) presented at the Mucem its project "SAHAB. Museum of the clouds of Gaza", a virtual reality museum, on the cloud, in the open air, for a territory under embargo. In order to trace its heritage and art, and to imagine its history in the future, this project in the making is put in dialogue with artistic and museum creations that use the grammar of "possibilities" to build a critical discourse of the present.
This day is conceived as an artistic and scientific meeting, where artists, filmmakers, researchers, curators, and museologists confront their own views about this project of a museum of the future of Gaza. This day is co-organized in partnership with the Cité Internationale des Arts where a public presentation will take place on May 30, 2022.
