The film Thabrate by Moroccan artist Badr El Hammami will be screened and highlighted in a narrative walk along the water.

The project Thabrate («letter» in Berber) is in direct line with the oral practice of the populations of the Maghreb, which, faced with the challenge of distance after the waves of immigrations of the 60s and 70s towards France, found in the radio technologytape the way to perpetrate. For a short period, from the 1960s to the democratization of the telephone in the early 1980s, separated families recorded real slices of lives dramatized on magnetic K7 making the round trip from one side of the Mediterranean to the other. Traces of this history are scattered in the cupboards, the boxes of families. Through this project, it is therefore a question of highlighting an oral cultural heritage that reflects the history of the experience of these many exchanges recounted over the recordings of cassettes.
