Exhibition "Away for a few centuries, and then return"

Sara OUHADDOU is an artist who lives and works in France and Morocco. In her artistic practice, she explores traditional know-how while always aiming to trace the original history of each craft studied: its gestures, its circulations, its influences.

In the face of archaeological objects from the ancient Mediterranean world, her gaze overlays another geography: that of the Arab world, the North African Mediterranean, migrations, and ancient dialogues between the two shores. She adds an unprecedented collaboration with the museum team, drawing inspiration from the intimate relationship maintained daily with the objects, often far from the public eye. In this exhibition, conceived as a role-playing game where the researcher becomes the artist, the artist researcher, the curator director, the explorer curator, and the archaeological artisan, she places knowledge at the service of creation, in order to nourish the works and extend the movement of objects through time.

An exhibition produced in partnership with MO.CO Montpellier Contemporain.
