This residency examined how artists that have worked together, digitally through dormancy for 9 months, are able to translate that relationship to in-person.
With no outcome other than to organically view the exchanging of ideas, practising communal care, and learning; at its core, Under the Same Sun is an experiment to see if and how co-produced residencies can work. With the addition of a Graphic Designer in residence, Halah El-kholy, a Filmmaker in residence, Sara Benabdallah, and a residency interpreter, Heidi El-kholy, the group are explored scavenger methodologies within a practice of reciprocal learning and communal care.
Dreamed up by Jessica El Mal. Co-produced by Elodie Sacher and Younes El Hossaini (of 560Zoom), Leila Gamaz, Sabrina Mumtaz-Hassan, Fatimazhora Serri and Ismail Zaidy. Residency interpreter Heidi El Kholy, Designer in Residence Halah El Kholy and Filmaker in Residence Sara Benabdallah.
