The project aims to explore the city, its imagery, and its future – viewing it as a space both shaped by imagination and influencing it, where individual and collective imagination intersect. To achieve this, I will investigate the city known as “Sham” through the eyes of its children.
The initial phase of the project was showcased to the public from November 2, 2016, to November 26, 2016, at the Espace Malraux, Scène Nationale de Chambéry et de la Savoie.
The first exhibition took place at the Palais de la Porte Dorée, National Museum of the History of Immigration, as part of the Visions of Exile festival, organized by Atelier des artistes en exil. Titled “SHAM,” it is an installation project by Bissane al-Sharif, in collaboration with Simon Pochet.
