Production
Hassan Darsi
Hassan Darsi was born in Casablanca. After seven years of artistic studies at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Plastiques et Visuels de Mons in Belgium. He is firmly convinced that art has an essential role to play in the cultural and human development of his city, his country and the world as a whole, and for many years he has tried, on his own scale, although a on a very small scale with regard to a vast construction site, to point out, underline, and carry out works and projects as so many triggers for civic and political awareness. Its objective is to experiment from a project, from a context of new practices and artistic forms, to create a common thread that helps to weave social ties. A project that is part of the artistic field while proposing possible social, ecological and economic alternatives to a territory.
