oase kassel. le 18 at documenta 15

In the framework of the participation of Le 18 Marrakech in documenta 15, we wanted to reflect on what an oasis would look like in Kassel. The workshop, OASE KASSEL was organised with Laila Hida (Le 18), Iswanto Hartono (ruangrupa, the colectif selected by documenta for the artistic direction of the 15th edition), Renée Tribble (head of the Urban Design Unit at Dortmund University) and Markus Ambach. Among the activities we developed during the 5 days, there was a presentation of what is an oasis and a conversation about the need of considering the oases as an urban development model in Kassel.

Gathering proposed by A. George Bajalia, Laila Hida, Francesca Masoero & Carlos Pérez Marin in the framework of the participation of Le 18 in documenta fifteen in Kassel (Germany) in August 2022.

This conversation brings together the initiators of various cultural initiatives and projects (such as Le 18 , Qanat , Youmein Festival , Caravane Tighmert, Caravane Ouadane and Project Qafila) to reflect on the lessons learnt from collective wanderings, wonderings and workshops developed in Northwest Africa over the last decade.
