For its very first monographic exhibition dedicated to a contemporary artist, the Museum of African Contemporary Art Al Maaden (MACAAL) in Marrakech has invited Joël Andrianomearisoa to occupy all of the museum's spaces in an exploration of Moroccan traditional knowledge. The artist engages dialogue with diverse artistic perspectives in an immersive scenography, punctuated by a selection of works from the Fondation Alliances collections. The works produced for Our Land Just Like A Dream were created exclusively in Marrakech, making use of a variety of local artisanal techniques in sustained dialogue with those who practice them. After an exploratory residency, Joël Andrianomearisoa undertook production of original works in close coordination with experienced artisans. The resulting works are personal interpretations of Morocco's artistic heritage as well as a tribute to hand craft.
