À l’épreuve du tamis investigates a history of entangled concepts, those of tradition and contemporary art, drawing from a recent directory in the field of contemporary Moroccan art which proposes to reinvent artistic and cultural heritages and local knowledges and practices, and to render them through different representations. At the level of artistic production, the exhibition presents practices portraying the formally-driven process of appropriation of knowledge descending from material or immaterial heritage; and others encapsulating efforts to requalify forms or embodying contextual interventions exploring the role of the artist as an intermediary between systems of knowledge. At the level of the research, the exhibition proposes to create human mobilities and practices of art production and mediation capable of organising new sets of relations of contemporary art with territories perceived as places of marginalisation.
