Forat Alhattab

The project is an experimental journey centered around food in its narrow and broad concepts through an exhibition that traverses the mountain-sea dichotomy. The work consists of an art installation and a live performance, drawing on field research into oral history, culinary traditions, and the geographical, environmental, and historical layers of food. The project focuses on two rural areas: Deir Atiyah in Syria’s Qalamoun Mountains and the Kerkennah Islands located off the coast in Tunisia. The viewers are immersed in a gastronomic and narrative journey that delves into the realms of imagination and creative landscapes of food.
