Paint on board
Following the success of this workshop in the two previous editions, the L’Filasse collective has been invited to add its own unique touch to surfboards. The public can observe and interact with the artists in action, and leave with their own personalized boards, which will become a real work of art.
Customization fee applies. Bring your own board.
L'FILASSE
L’Filasse is a collective of young visual artists: Hamza Errachid Sfart and Ismaël Ahendouz, natives of southern Morocco and graduates of the Institut National des Beaux-Arts de Tétouan.
The collective works on plastic art experiments inspired by themes with a spiritual dimension, drawn from nature, heritage and Moroccan popular culture.
Representations of nature are manifold in Moroccan art, and the sea is one such representation that takes on a mystical form and a source of legendary inspiration.
L’Filasse strives to launch a new spirituality nourished by the duality of the Atlas mountains and the sea… The collective will present drawings and paintings made during trips to various southern beaches.
Upcycling with Acted
ACTED is a project where art and the environment come together to create unique works of art.
Founded by Zakaria Idbellahcen and Fatima Zahra Chaouf, ACTED combines artistic passion and ecological commitment to transform everyday waste into inspiring pieces of art. Fatima Zahra, an environmental engineer and artist, combines her passion for color with her love of nature to create vibrant works of art. Zakaria, an artist and ingenious handyman, devotes himself to creating statues and installations using a variety of recycled materials. Together, they apply their skills to transforming objects such as cassettes, plastics, coffee capsules and other waste materials into works of art.
The ACTED project is not limited to artistic creation. It also offers interactive workshops open to all – children, teenagers, adults and families – to discover the art of recycling and raise awareness of sustainability. These workshops offer an opportunity to get actively involved in transforming waste into works of art, while learning about the importance of preserving our environment.
Spotlight on the Taghazout Surf Expo / ACTED collaboration:
After having had the privilege of leading upcycling workshops at the first Taghazout Surf Expo, we’re delighted to be contributing to the third edition with an innovative artistic project: dressing the arcades with waste such as plastic bags, packaging and fabric scraps, materials that are omnipresent in our daily lives but unfortunately difficult to recycle and often abandoned.
For this installation, we drew inspiration from Boucharouit carpets, a Moroccan weaving tradition using recycled materials.
Boucharouit rugs, whose name means “fabric scraps”, are characteristic of Moroccan craftsmanship. They are made from reclaimed materials such as fabric scraps, clothing and wool, creating colorful and unique works of art. This project will showcase our Boucharouit weaving technique while highlighting the importance of recycling and creativity in waste management. We look forward to sharing this work with you, and to welcoming you to our stand to discover our creations over the four days of the event.
