During his residency, Nourreddine Ezarraf harvested madder and other dye plants growing at The Mothership, and explored ways to use these local red matrials in the making of afro-amazigh futuristic narratives. 

Noureddine Ezarraf is a Moroccan multidisciplinary artist and poet based between Aghmat, Marrakech and The Netherlands. With a background in political economy, his research explores the hydro-politics in rural Morocco. Earraf’s work is an attempt to explore the poetics and the practice of poetry, by questioning oneself on the medium, trying to go beyond the frames which define the contours of this practice. Through a multidisciplinary and hybrid practice, his work spans from research into the institutes, interconnecting architecture and proxemics with the politics embedded in listening, to the iconologies and rhetorics of tourism as a hyper-colonisation of spaces and territories, especially in the context of Morocco.

He is also part of Qanat Collective (@qanat_collective).
