An evening about the commons in West Asia and North Africa

Soumeya Ait Ahmed and Nadir Bouhmouch will present a new lecture-performance on two types of common spaces in Morocco, the Assays and the Agadir, and two types of collective practices, the Agraw and Tiwiza. Marwa Arsanios will share her research on the Mashaa, a communal system of land tenure that goes beyond ownership and still exists in some regions of West Asia. The evening will begin with a screening of her film Who is Afraid of Ideology? Part 4 Reverse Shot (35 min, 2022), a collaborative investigation of anti-capitalist ideas around property and land ownership in Lebanon. The evening is moderated  by Philippe Pirotte.
 

The evening is hosted at K1, Avenue du Port 1, 1000 Brussels. Drinks will be served from 17:30, with the screening starting at 18:00 and the roundtable at 19:00. The event is free and in English. The cycle about Commons in West Asia and North Africa includes an event and a workshop.
