Presentation of the video essay Azziza’s Garden, by resident artist Tareq Khalaf at MACBA

The presentation of Azziza’s Garden took place in the community garden of the Jardín Ambulante. In this work, Tareq led us on an intimate film journey, where images intertwined with poetry and open dialogue, exploring the creation of a visual language that fuses the ecological, the political, and the affective from the intimate spaces of the home. The conversation, which reclaimed the domestic as a political space and process, continued with the community garden managers, who shared their experiences, presented the project, and invited us to taste its fruits.

Photogravure is a contemporary intaglio printmaking technique that uses photopolymer plates. It offers a safer, less toxic, and faster alternative to traditional etching methods.
